Try to replace like for like if you possibly can - take one of the old hinges with you when you hunt down a replacement.
With the new ones, the length will be the same, more than likely - but if the screw holes don't line up properly, bung the old holes up with old matches and glue, tapping them in with a hammer and cutting the ends off once set.
You then need a thin drill (2.5mm diameter maybe) to pilot drill where the new screw holes need to be.
Hope this helps!
