Dumb hinge question

    What part of this hinge do I need to measure to get another one the same size? I know it's a 26mm cup, but Screwfix have various lengths on their website (64mm, 112mm, etc.), and I don't know exactly what length it's referring to.

    (Also, none of them say whether they're 26mm or 35mm cups... does that mean they're 35mm by default, so no use to me anyway?)

    Looks like a 110 degree, kitchen door hinge, every hardware should have them, bring that one with you when you're buying, to compare. Thirty five mm is the size of the hole you drill in the door

    I also have a dumb hinge question - what's this type hinge called?

    Have some cabinets that need them replaced but not sure what to search for? Very same as a cabinet hinge, but with fittings to be tightened rather than separate screws.

    Thanks. It's an existing hole, and it's 26mm, which I believe is a standard size. I just need to replace a hinge that's broken, but we don't have any hardware stores locally, so I was hoping to buy online.
