It is possible to choose which length of Mezuzah case. Sometimes, parchment scrolls come in different sizes
so it is important to choose the right size of the Mezuzah Case. Nobody likes a situation where the scroll is too big and doesn't fit inside the case.
Just pull the upper bead and insert the "klaf" (Parchment) into the Mezuzah case.
What is Etching?
Etching is an intaglio method of printmaking in which the image is incised into the surface of a metal plate using an acid. The acid eats the metal, leaving behind roughened areas, or if the surface exposed to the acid is very narrow, burning a line into the plate. The process is believed to have been invented by Daniel Hopfer (circa 1470-1536) of Augsburg, Germany, who decorated armour in this way, and applied the method to printmaking. Etching is also used in the manufacturing of printed circuit boards and semiconductor devices and the preparation of metallic specimens for microscopic observation.
There are many ways for the printmaker to control the acid's effects. Most typically, the surface of the plate is covered in a hard, waxy ground that resists acid. The printmaker then scratches through the ground with a sharp point, exposing lines of metal that are attacked by the acid. Once the drawing in the ground is finished, the plate is submerged in acid for a period of time; longer submersion means that deeper lines are etched. The ground may be removed, or the artist may continue drawing in it, etching it again in acid to deepen existing lines while adding new lines. The ground may also be reapplied to protect existing lines while adding new ones. The ground may be removed and the plate printed to see its current printing state, to be followed by more work (or other techniques, such as aquatint, drypoint, or engraving); thus, many of Rembrandt's etchings exist in several distinct forms, with the final, "accepted" version apparently preceded by many artist's proofs.

Affixing
This design is especially appropriate for posting on an external and wooden doors due to its dominant size,
color and presence.
On both ends of the Mezuzah Case there are matallic loops which serve the purpose of affixing the Mezuzah Case to the doorframe. This
can be done either with nails, screws or a powerful epoxy glue.
External Coating
All the Mezuzah Cases are coated with a shiny protective lacquer.It is advised not to scrub the Mezuzah case with strong toxic detergents that might disintegrate the lacquer.
