There is discussion among the Poskim ,on which side of the door , the Mezuza should be placed:
(1) If the balcony is more than 4 cubits (=91in.) by 4 cubits, some poskim say it should be on the right side of the exit from the room to the balcony (Ta"z siman 289 se'if katan 4, Shu"t Minchat Eliezer vol. II siman 40, Shu"t Minchat Yitzhak vol. I siman 8).
But other Poskim claim it must be put on the right side of the entrance from the balcony to the room (Shu"t Beit Meir, and Chazon-Ish Yore-de'a siman 168).
(2) If the balcony is less than 4 cubits by 4 cubits ,the Mezuza should be on the right side of the entrance from the balcony to the room, according to all the opinions.
In any event (on whichever side of the door the mezuza is affixed and independent of the balcony's size) the Mezuza should preferably be affixed without a Bracha (=blessing)!!!
(3) The Chazon-Ish says that if the balcony has another entrance to the street , the Mezuza would be affixed with Bracha!
(4) For further details concerning a balcony, look in Sefer "Pitchei-Shearim" pg. 328,329.

Hosha'ana Rabba FLYDUBAI & HOSHANA RABBA- ANI VAHU HOSHIA NA- I & HIM SAVE US
"Ani vaHu Hoshia Na", "I and Him, Save Us". We don't just pray to Him, but we also pray to and for ourselves that we should emulate and educate our children to have that instinctive altruism with which He created the world. President Trump seemed amused about Yaniv Hayon, our PLUMBER who confidently worked with G-d like Superman (he learned from a pilot on a TV show!) to save 174 lives on the Dubai hijacking, but we in Israel are totally accustomed already 78 years to our plumbers, teachers, garbage-men, rabbis, farmers & doctors being Hashem's shlichim! This is what Zionism is about.
