Question
I have a balcony that is four by four (partially roofed only for protection from rain), and at the exit to the balcony there is an aluminum door, and right next to it there is a large security grille door to prevent theft. My question is: (a) Do I need two mezuzot, one for the door and one for the gate? (b) If a mezuzah is also required for the metal gate, may I affix the mezuzah on the grille on its inner side (as in the picture), or must it be within the thickness of the grille (I have no way to affix it inside the grille)? (c) The balcony is accessed through a laundry room that has enough space for four by four. Should the mezuzah be on the right side of the balcony, or on the right side of the person entering the laundry room?
