The command in Deuteronomy to write these words upon your Doorposts, (מְזוּזוֹת mezuzot,) does not include a tradition of having a scribe write it on Parchment, nor does it command you to buy a fabricated one and put it on your door, it commands you to write it, and it commands you to teach and talk about what it says, and it commands you to do the words in every activity that you do. Doing what is written in the Torah is Kosher, adding things that are not written in the Torah, is not Kosher.
שׁמע ישׂראל יהוה אלהינו יהוה אחד׃ ואהבת את יהוה אלהיך בכל־לבבך ובכל־נפשׁך ובכל־מאדך׃ והיו הדברים האלה אשׁר אנכי מצוך היום על־לבבך׃ ושׁננתם לבניך ודברת בם בשׁבתך בביתך ובלכתך בדרך ובשׁכבך ובקומך׃ וקשׁרתם לאות על־ידך והיו לטטפת בין עיניך׃ וכתבתם על־מזזות ביתך ובשׁעריך׃
והיה אם־שׁמע תשׁמעו אל־מצותי אשׁר אנכי מצוה אתכם היום לאהבה את־יהוה אלהיכם ולעבדו בכל־לבבכם ובכל־נפשׁכם׃ ונתתי מטר־ארצכם בעתו יורה ומלקושׁ ואספת דגנך ותירשׁך ויצהרך׃ ונתתי עשׂב בשׂדך לבהמתך ואכלת ושׂבעת׃ השׁמרו לכם פן יפתה לבבכם וסרתם ועבדתם אלהים אחרים והשׁתחויתם להם׃ וחרה אף־יהוה בכם ועצר את־השׁמים ולא־יהיה מטר והאדמה לא תתן את־יבולה ואבדתם מהרה מעל הארץ הטבה אשׁר יהוה נתן לכם׃ ושׂמתם את־דברי אלה על־לבבכם ועל־נפשׁכם וקשׁרתם אתם לאות על־ידכם והיו לטוטפת בין עיניכם׃ ולמדתם אתם את־בניכם לדבר בם בשׁבתך בביתך ובלכתך בדרך ובשׁכבך ובקומך׃ וכתבתם על־מזוזות ביתך ובשׁעריך׃ למען ירבו ימיכם וימי בניכם על האדמה אשׁר נשׁבע יהוה לאבתיכם לתת להם כימי השׁמים על־הארץ׃

“Hear Israel, Yahweh our Elohey, Yahweh first being one. And love associate Yahweh your Elohey within all your heart, and within all your soul, and within all your ability. And these words, which I command you this day, shall be within your heart, and you shall teach them diligently unto your children, and shall talk of them when you sit within your house, and when you walk by the pathway, and when you lay down, and when you rise up. And you shall bind them for a sign upon your hand, and they shall be as frontlets between your eyes. And you shall write them upon the doorposts of your house, and on your gates. “
Deuteronomy 6:4-9
“And it shall birth, if you shall hearken diligently unto my commandments which I command you this day, to love Yahweh your Elohey, and to serve him with all your heart and with all your soul, that I will give you the rain of your land in his due season, the first rain and the latter rain, that you may gather in your grain, and your wine, and your oil. And I will send grass in your fields for your cattle, that you may eat and be full. Take heed to yourselves, that your heart be not deceived, and you turn aside, and serve other Elohim, and worship them, and then Yahweh's aggression be kindled against you, and he shut up the heaven, that there be no rain, and that the land yield not her fruit, and lest you perish quickly from off the good land which Yahweh gives you. Therefore shall you lay up these my words in your heart and in your soul, and bind them for a sign upon your hand, that they may be as frontlets between your eyes, and you shall teach them your children, speaking of them when you sit within your house, and when you walk by the pathway, when you lay down, and when you rise up. And you shall write them upon the doorposts of your house, and upon your gates, that your days may be multiplied, and the days of your children, in the land which Yahweh swear unto your fathers to give them, as the days of heaven upon the earth. “
Deuteronomy 11:13-21
