The Rambam would say that the mitzvah of mezuzah earns shemirah. Straight
sekhar va'onesh, nothing about the power of an object.  >>

Nevertheless it is clear that it is the mitzvah of mezuzah that gives
shmira and not just
getting schar from any mitzvah.
Also halachically one should put the mezuzah as far outside as possible to
include whatever possible of the house within the shmira.

Connecting this to "inanei de-yoma" while during asetert yemei hateshuva
all mitzvot are encouraged nevertheless the stress is
on certain mitzvot like charity and prayer as saving us and not just the
schar from any mitzvah
