I'm just ordering some new wardrobe doors and they're drilling the hinge holes.

The doors are 2270mm long and they think 4 holes is correct for that size.

Then I realised I don't know really where they should be placed.

Is it equidistant. Should the hinge at the bottom be higher?

Does anyone know?
Thanks.

Evenly spaced is good, especially if the door is a bit bendy. Top and
bottom hinges 100mm off the top and bottom, more if there's a reason for it.

They're guaranteed to put at least one hinge where it obstructs a shelf, pull-out basket, or similar.

Just checked ours (our doors are 2000 mm, not 2270, as there is a drawer
beneath each one). The doors are on an old Wickes fitted wardrobe which
was here when we moved in, maybe 15 - 20 years old?

The centres of the top and bottom hinges are about 90mm from the top and
bottom of each door. The next hinge is 695 mm from the bottom on all
four doors. The fourth hinge varies; from the top - 695 mm on three
doors, 800 on the other (there is a shelf where it would have gone if at
695 mm - there is a blanking plate over where a pre-drilled hole is at
that point.).

Not quite sure what you mean. Are these normal hinges or something like the
over designed kitchen cabinet sort?
Is the door heavy, bendy or flimsy?

Yes of course, that is why they sell new baskets slightly different to the
original and put shelves on them little plastic push in wotsits that fall
out just when the shelf is full of heavy items.

It'll be the kitchen door style hinges.
The door should be quite heavy or not flimsy. Typical wardrobe doors.

I'd think about looking at, say, Blum's website to see what they say.
