Not sure about satin wood to be honest.

I'd with out a doubt use a 2pack polyurataine paint especially if it's going over another finish.

When you say "teak" are you sure that it is actual teak or do you just mean that it is a dark coloured tropical hardwood.

Your door is, most likely, iroko and this is not suitable for all paints as it is an oily wood. Iroko doors often have a sticker on the side to warn you about painting it so check this out andf check that the paint you buy is suitable for the wood..

Also, if you decide to sand iroko, remember that the dust can cause skin irritation.
