Commentaire sur Kéilim 11:2
כָּל כְּלִי מַתָּכוֹת שֶׁיֶּשׁ לוֹ שֵׁם בִּפְנֵי עַצְמוֹ, טָמֵא, חוּץ מִן הַדֶּלֶת, וּמִן הַנֶּגֶר, וּמִן הַמַּנְעוּל, וְהַפּוֹתָה שֶׁתַּחַת הַצִּיר, וְהַצִּיר, וְהַקּוֹרָה, וְהַצִּנּוֹר, שֶׁנַּעֲשׂוּ לַקַּרְקָע:
Tout récipient métallique qui a un nom qui lui est propre est sensible aux impuretés, à l'exception d'une porte, d'un verrou, d'une serrure, d'une douille sous une charnière, d'une charnière, d'un battant et de la rainure [de seuil] sous un montant de porte, car ceux-ci sont destinés à être fixés au sol.

English Explanation of Mishnah Kelim
Except for a door, a bolt, a lock, a socket under a hinge, a hinge, a clapper, and the [threshold] groove under a door post, since these are intended to be attached to the ground. The exceptions are various parts of doors. These are not susceptible to impurity because they are meant to be attached to the ground, and any vessel that is attached to the ground is not susceptible to impurity (see 8:9).
