Silver mezuzah nails are a simple, elegant way to mount mezuzah cases that are designed with nail holes. They give the case a clean, secure hold on the doorpost while keeping the hardware subtle, making them a useful accessory for silver, pewter, acrylic, wood, ceramic, and many traditional mezuzah covers.
These mezuzah nails are best for cases that already have top and bottom mounting holes. The silver finish blends well with many common case styles, especially when the customer wants the installation to look neat rather than heavy. They are a practical part of our mezuzah accessories collection for replacing missing hardware or preparing a new case for placement.
For cases that do not have nail holes, or for a no-drill installation on a smooth surface, mezuzah tape and adhesive strips may be the better fit. For hardware-mounted cases, these silver nails offer a lighter and more refined look than screws, while still helping the mezuzah sit firmly against the doorpost.

How to Use Silver Mezuzah Nails
- Confirm that your mezuzah case has nail holes at the top and bottom.
- Insert the kosher mezuzah scroll (קְלָף מְזוּזָה, parchment scroll) into the case before final mounting, if the case loads from the back.
- Seal the back of the case using the backing that comes with your mezuzah, or use suitable double-sided mezuzah mounting tape when appropriate to help protect the klaf (קְלָף, parchment).
- Hold the mezuzah case on the right side of the doorway as you enter the room or home, following proper mezuzah placement according to halacha (הֲלָכָה, Jewish law).
- Position the case slightly slanted when following common Ashkenazi custom, or follow your family minhag (מִנְהָג, custom) for placement.
- Start with the top nail, keeping the case aligned and steady.
- Add the bottom nail and check that the mezuzah case is firmly attached and not loose or swinging.
Because mounting is part of preparing the mezuzah for the mitzvah (מִצְוָה, commandment), the hardware should hold the case firmly so it does not swing or shift. Customers choosing silver nails often pair them with silver mezuzah cases, pewter covers, and other neutral doorway styles.
Once the scroll is inside and the case is ready to affix, it helps to review the full placement process before mounting. Our guide to putting up a mezuzah explains the right side of the doorway, placement height, angle, and other installation details.
Before the mezuzah is placed, review the mezuzah blessing, the bracha (בְּרָכָה, blessing) said when affixing a mezuzah when applicable. The nails are the hardware, but the kosher scroll inside is what gives the mezuzah its halachic purpose.
Silver nails work well with many classic mezuzah cases made for nail mounting. For warmer hardware, compare the Gold Mezuzah Nails, or choose Black Mezuzah Nails for darker cases.
A Mezuzah brings blessings and protection to your home. In the Jewish tradition, it should be placed on almost every doorpost - including the front door, back door, and bedroom doors - serving as a constant reminder our obligations to God. Inside a Mezuzah is a scroll inscribed with two passages from the Torah, symbolizing the connection between God and the home. More than a tradition, the Mezuzah sanctifies each entrance, filling the home with holiness, peace and spiritual significance.

FAQ
Do your mezuzahs come with a scroll inside?
We sell the Mezuzah cover and the Mezuzah scroll separately. This is because some people already have scrolls which they purchased from their Rabbi or Synagogue. Others may already have a Mezuzah with a scroll and they just want to switch the Mezuzah cover to a different one to match their decor etc.
In order to make it easier for you, every product page has an option to add the proper sized Kosher scroll. If you choose this option, you will receive your Mezuzah with the scroll already wrapped in protective covering and inserted into your Mezuzah cover.
Who certifies your Mezuzahs?
All of our Mezuzahs are guaranteed to be 100% Kosher. They are hand written by expert scribes in Israel. They are then computer checked for textual errors. Finally they are checked by and expert scribe at our workshop in Los Angeles.
Currently there is no organization anywhere that certifies Mezuzahs as Kosher. But you can rest assured that our Mezuzahs are 100% Kosher. In fact we are the source of Mezuzahs for many Orthodox Rabbis as well as synagogues and Chabad Houses all over the country.
What makes a Mezuzah "Kosher"?
A Kosher Meuzah is handwritten on parchment by a scribe who is trained in the laws of writing a Mezuzah. A scroll which is reproduced by machine, or not written according to the laws of the Torah, is not Kosher. Read our "About Mezuzahs" page to learn more about Mezuzahs.
I am not religious. Can I get a Non-Kosher scroll?
At MezuzahStore.com we believe very much in the importance of having Kosher Mezuzahs on every door of your home. Although we don't judge someone who doesn't feel the need to have a Kosher Mezuzah, it would be wrong for us to sell something that we don't believe in. Therefore we only sell Kosher Mezuzah scrolls even though we lose a lot of sales to people who don't want to pay for the scroll.

Mezuzahs bring blessing to your home. According to Jewish tradition, they should be on almost every door of your home. Besides the front door, the Mezuzah should also go on the back door, bedroom doors and many other doors of your home.
About
Our Scrolls
The scroll is the heart and soul of the Mezuzah so it is very important that it be 100% Kosher.
All of our Mezuzah scrolls are handwritten by a certified Torah scribe on real calf-skin parchment. Each scroll is then scanned into a special computer program that checks it for mistakes. Finally each Mezuzah scroll is checked by our own in house Torah scribe to make sure that it is 100% Kosher.
