When you need a mezuzah for a new home, want existing mezuzot checked, or are preparing for a bar mitzvah, it helps to have one reliable address for the entire process. At KosherKlaf.com, we provide carefully sourced STaM—Sifrei Torah, Tefillin, Mezuzot, and Megillot—along with professional checking, clear reports, and coordinated home service in the Tri-State area.
Whether you are moving into an apartment in Manhattan, buying a home in Bergen County, setting up a new house in Long Island, or simply wondering if it is time to check the mezuzot already on your doors, we make the process straightforward and respectful.
Buy Mezuzot and Tefillin With Confidence
STaM is not an ordinary purchase. A mezuzah or pair of tefillin is used for years, often decades, and its kashrut depends on details that cannot be judged from a quick glance or a low price alone. We help customers understand what they are purchasing: the writing style, level of hiddur, parchment size, and the practical differences between options.
KosherKlaf carries mezuzot and tefillin in a range of levels and follows the customer’s family minhag, including Ashkenaz and Beit Yosef options, with Ari/Sefardi available by request. We are happy to explain the choices clearly—without pressuring you toward the most expensive option. You can also learn more about our standards for quality and kashrus.
For mezuzot, we generally recommend choosing a 10 cm klaf or larger when the case and doorway allow it. It is easier to assess, gives the sofer more room to write clearly, and is usually a stronger long-term choice than very small mezuzot. For tefillin, we can guide parents and bar mitzvah families through the important decisions before purchasing.
Mezuzah Checking: When Is It Time?
Many people know that mezuzot should be checked periodically, but are unsure when to begin. A good rule is to have private-home mezuzot checked twice every seven years. Mezuzot should also be checked after water damage, a renovation, a long period of exposure to extreme heat or cold, or whenever there is a concern about the condition of the parchment or case.
Professional checking can uncover issues that are invisible while the mezuzah is rolled inside its case: cracked letters, fading ink, moisture damage, punctures, adhesive problems, or a mezuzah that was never kosher to begin with. We carefully remove the mezuzot, have them checked, and provide a clear report with photos when appropriate, so you know what was found and what was done. No repair work is done without your approval.
If a mezuzah needs repair or replacement, we explain the options before proceeding. If it is kosher, it returns to your door with the same care it was removed with.
Home Mezuzah Installation and House Calls
Installing mezuzot correctly involves more than putting a case on the door. The right placement can depend on the doorway, room use, direction of entry, construction, and whether a bracha is recited. Our home service is designed for families who want the job handled properly from start to finish.
We can coordinate a house call to:
- Remove mezuzot for checking and label each location clearly.
- Reinstall checked mezuzot when they are ready.
- Install new mezuzot in a newly purchased or renovated home.
- Assess which doorways require a mezuzah and answer placement questions.
- Replace damaged cases, including outdoor cases exposed to weather.
- Help prepare a home before moving in, or complete the project after renovations.
We treat your home with care, keep the process organized, and aim to minimize the time your mezuzot are off the doors. Loaner mezuzot may be available when needed.
Tri-State Area Service: New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut
KosherKlaf serves customers throughout the greater New York area, with house calls and coordinated service available in many major Jewish communities. Availability and travel costs can vary by location, so please contact us to confirm your area and schedule.
New York City
We assist families across New York City, including Manhattan, Washington Heights, Riverdale, the Upper West Side, Upper East Side, Brooklyn, Flatbush, Midwood, Borough Park, Crown Heights, Williamsburg, Queens, Kew Gardens Hills, Forest Hills, and surrounding neighborhoods.
Long Island
For Long Island customers, we regularly work with families in the Five Towns—including Woodmere, Cedarhurst, Lawrence, Hewlett, and Inwood—as well as Far Rockaway, West Hempstead, Hewlett Bay Park, Great Neck, Roslyn, Plainview, and other Nassau County communities. If you are moving, renovating, or setting up a new home, contact us early so we can coordinate the timing around your closing or move-in date.
Northern New Jersey

House-call availability depends on scheduling and the scope of the work, but we are happy to discuss the best way to handle your project.
Connecticut and the Wider Tri-State Area
Families in New Rochelle, White Plains, Scarsdale, and Westchester can contact us for service coordination. We also work with customers in Connecticut communities such as Stamford, New Haven, and the greater Fairfield County area. For locations farther from our regular routes, we can often arrange a drop-off, shipping solution, or a scheduled service day.
A Better Way to Handle a Mezuzah Project
A full mezuzah project can involve checking what is already in the home, determining which doors need mezuzot, choosing replacements where necessary, sourcing suitable cases, and completing installation. Instead of sending you to different people for each step, KosherKlaf can coordinate the process in one place.
You will receive practical guidance, transparent pricing before work begins, and a knowledgeable person to call if you have a question afterward. We also carry mezuzah cases and outdoor solutions, so a cracked, undersized, or weather-damaged case does not hold up the job.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost to get mezuzot checked?
The cost depends on the number of mezuzot, whether removal and reinstallation are needed, your location, and whether any repairs or replacements are required. We provide a clear estimate before scheduling a house call.
Can you check mezuzot without coming to my home?
Yes. You may drop off or ship mezuzot to us for checking. For households with several mezuzot, new-home installation, or customers who prefer help with removal and placement, a house call is often the easiest option.
Do you install mezuzot in a new house or apartment?
Yes. We can help assess the doorways, supply new mezuzot and cases, and install them properly. Reach out before your move-in date whenever possible.
Do you sell mezuzot near me?
We serve customers across the Tri-State area and can arrange shipping nationally. If you are in New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Long Island, or a nearby community, contact us to discuss local delivery, pickup, or home service.
How do I schedule a mezuzah house call?
Contact KosherKlaf with your city, the approximate number of mezuzot, and whether you need checking, new mezuzot, installation, or all three. We will recommend the simplest next step and provide scheduling options.
