Actually, I would like to point out that this is not a mistake, if you refer to what I believe. The only unopenable lock on the 'difficult' setting is the crate located on the bedraggled Ebon Hawk.
The solution to your problem is to overload the disabled astromech-droid's motivator via the nearby computer terminal. On the 'normal' difficulty setting, one may open the door with explosives to gain access to the treasure stored on the other side. However, on the hardest setting, you are forced to destroy this treasure, thus increasing the challenge of escaping Peragus. Unfortunate, isn't it?
