Default Simple butt hinge question

Couple of questions.

Toolstation only list one of the dimension sizes on its hinges. I take
it they are proportionate so 100mm will be roughly 60mm on the opposite
plane?


I've never seen hinge dimensions expressed in that way - but only 3" or
4" hinges, etc.

I presume he means 100 x 60 when opened out flat - so 100 x ~30 when
folded? How thick are the doors? Obviously the 'half-hinge' mustn't be
any wider than the thickness of the door!

What size are the existing hinges? Can't they be transferred to the new
doors?
