Please don't paint your doors with emulsion.
F&B wall paint is a pain either the modern or estate have different problems. The pigments are very good though. I have painted a lot of f&b but I try to avoid it these days as there are better options. Little Green or Mylands would be my usual choice. That's for walls though.
f&b only do acrylic eggshell which can put a lot of kitchen painters off. There are not too many professionals who want to use it to paint kitchens. There's very little to recommend it except maybe the pigments having that certain quality.
Craig and Rose are decent acrylic eggshell paints and work well in kitchens. Decorators Guild if you want to pay f&b prices for Mylands paint but with great colours. There are a few specialist ones that you wouldn't want to start with. Unsurprisingly most kitchens painters are into paint brands most householders have never heard of!
