Halakhah for Menachot 65:9
בשלמא לרב הונא הוא דאמר כר' יהודה אלא לשמואל דאמר כמאן לא כר' יהודה ולא כר' יוסי
too cannot be, for the door through which R'Huna used to enter the House of Study had a mezuzah! - That [door] was used more frequently [than the others]. And Rab Judah has said in the name of Rab that in the law of mezuzah one must decide upon the [door] most frequently used.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' I.e., in a room which has more than one door the mezuzah must be affixed to that door which is most frequently used.');"><sup>11</sup></span>
Sefer HaChinukh
It is from the roots of the commandment that it be a memory device for a person about faith in God every time that he comes into his home and [when] he leaves [it], and like I wrote about the matter of tefillin. And [it is] like the matter that they, may their memory be blessed, wrote about this commandment (Menachot 33a), "Rabbi Zira said that Rav Matnah said that Shmuel said, 'It is a commandment to place it in the top third.' Rabbah [Rava] said, 'It is a commandment to place it in the handbreadth adjacent to the public domain.' What is the reason? The Rabbis said, 'So that one will be met by the commandment immediately'" (Menachot 33b).
