Remounting the Mezuzah

I removed my mezuzahs. How do I go about putting them back?

When a mezuzah that has been removed -- for checking, when renovations are being done, or for any other reason -- is remounted, the blessing should be recited only if the mezuzah was off the doorposts for at least one night. If you are also adding new mezuzahs at this time, it is preferable to recite the blessing on a new one (providing that it is mounted on a door that requires a blessing).

It is preferred to have all of the mezuzahs returned to their original doorposts, or at least to the same type of entrance way (i.e., from one bedroom door to another, or from one archway to another).

A practical suggestion: when removing the mezuzahs, label each mezuzah case with a number (using masking tape or the like). Tape an identical number on the doorpost from which it was removed. If you are giving them to be checked, remember to request from the scribe to replace all mezuzahs in their original cases. When the mezuzahs are remounted, match the numbers from your cases to the numbers on the doorposts.
