* Are doors of houses considered kelim? Rashi Shabbat 122b s.v. vaf explained that it isn’t a kli. Meiri 122b s.v. amar and Ritva 122b s.v. veynam agree. Rambam Shabbat 25:6 writes that it is a kli but still muktzeh since it isn’t prepared to be moved. Mishna Brurah 308:42 echoes the Rambam.

* Biur Halacha 308:10 s.v. ein explains that according to the Rambam a door is a kli but it is muktzeh since it isn't meant to be used. However, Rashi who explains that it isn't a kli if this door was fashioned to be a kli in advance then if it fell off it wouldn't be muktzeh. Chazon Ish 46:4 argues that there’s no difference between Rashi and Rambam, both hold it isn’t a kli since it isn't designated to be moved. They would both be strict on a door that fell off even if it was fashioned. See Rabbi Akiva Eiger on Magen Avraham 308:19 who also seems to understand the Rambam that it isn’t really a kli.</ref>

==Furniture==
# Furniture that one of the legs broke shouldn’t be used as it is or by propping it up on something since there is a concern that you will fix it.<ref>Trumat Hadeshen 71 based on Shabbat 138b, Rama 308:16. Is a chair that one leg broke considered a kli shemelachto lisur or muktzeh? Shalmei Yehuda p. 86 with respect to eyeglasses that broke says it is only a kli shemelachto lisur. Shulchan Shlomo 308:46:2 writes that he later retracted and said it was muktzeh. Chut Shani Shabbat v. 3 p. 119 writes that it is only a kli shemelachto lisur but it is still forbidden to move it to prop it up to sit upon since doing so will cause you to come to fix it. Yet, the Tehilah Ldovid 308:22, Shulchan Aruch Harav 308:47, Tiltulei Shabbat p. 147, and Orchot Shabbat v. p. 82 conclude that it is completely muktzeh machmat gufo.</ref>
