We had the interior of our house painted and want to put back the mezuzahs. Traditional Jewish practice about Mezzuzot is that a Mezzuzah should be affixed to every door in a house except for the bathroom, even if there are many rooms in a house and even if the room has more than one door. As long as a door can be used as an entrance and exit, a Mezzuzah should be affixed to the doorpost. It should be affixed to the doorpost on the right hand side of a person entering the room.
