No, you need to get the hinges to match or they may not work
You may have the option to specify where and what type is required but it something to watch for

Just incase anybody has broken Hinges or hinges in the wrong place you can buy these https://www.toolstation.com/shop/p25950?searchstr=kitchen hinges

Never seem them, very handy
Thanks, if I order new hinges with new doors, are the pre made hole spacings already in the cupboards, industry standard spacings, or do they differ from kitchen to kitchen? Don't mind drilling new holes like, or using those toolstation brackets!

They differ unfortunately.
From memory, you measure from the top of the cupboard (top of the cabinet) to the middle of the hinge. It'll be around 11-12cm. But does differ between manufacturers.
There's then a measurement for them. But your door supplier can probably advise.
Somewhere like this will put the fixings wherever you want

Yeah saved me a lot of messing about when I had to fix some old units with hinges torn out. I love the Blum hinges as well, much more variant and quality than some others.
why not take every door off and label each door like A,B,C etc and put a label inside each cupboard.
Take all the doors to a place near you that can cut all of the wood up to size of your choice AND make sure that the hinge cut outs are the same? I wonder if anyone would be able to do this for you?
Then you can bring each door home and fit it in yourself.
We've just had all our doors replaced (and an extra cupboard to cover the combi) but we had it done by a company, they came out and measured everything up, ordered the doors we chose and then had them pre-drilled before bringing them to our house, only took the fitter 1.5 days to fit them all and the new cupboard as well.
Most companies will want to come and measure themselves in case of any errors on your part, the about about marking each door is a good suggestions but you'll need a timber yard or kitchen company to take them to.

Thanks guys,
That kitchen door workshop site looks great, good reviews too, the ones I found so far were all slated across google! I'm going to measure up each door and get a quote. i'd get them to drill the hinge holes in doors, and i'd just have to do new holes in the existing cabinets which will be easy.
