Metal Mezuzah Case for Doorpost - 11.5 cm

Metal Mezuzah for Doorpost - Meaningful Jewish Home Accent

This metal mezuzah case is designed to bring tradition, dignity, and lasting beauty to any Jewish home or office. Crafted from durable metal and sized at approximately 11.5 x 2 x 2 cm (4.52 x 0.79 x 0.79 in), it is suitable for most standard doorframes while remaining discreet and elegant.

Made to withstand daily use and typical indoor or semi-outdoor conditions, this mezuzah case features a refined design that can complement both classic and contemporary interiors. Two small mounting holes at each end allow for secure attachment to the doorframe (screws or nails not included). The case is intended to hold a kosher parchment scroll (klaf, not included) containing the traditional verses from the Torah.

Traditionally, the mezuzah is affixed on the right side of the doorpost as one enters, with the top angled slightly inward toward the room. It serves as a visible reminder of Jewish faith, heritage, and the values that guide the home. Touching or kissing the mezuzah upon entering or leaving is a common practice that reinforces a sense of connection and mindfulness.

FAQ

Q: Does this mezuzah include a parchment scroll (klaf)?
A: No. The case is sold without a scroll. A kosher parchment should be purchased separately from a reliable Judaica or sofer.

Q: Can it be used outdoors?
A: It is suitable for standard entranceways and covered outdoor areas. For fully exposed exterior use, consider placing it where it is protected from direct rain and extreme weather.

Q: How is it installed?
A: The case has two small holes, one at each end, for mounting with small screws or nails (not included). Consult a rabbi for guidance on exact placement and blessing.

Q: What size scroll fits inside?
A: The internal space is appropriate for a small mezuzah scroll compatible with an 11.5 cm case. Check the inner dimensions with your scribe or Judaica supplier before purchasing a klaf.
