Jumping in to say I have the same issue. I am running a party with 3 of the story NPCs and two custom hires, a druid and a rogue. My rogue is the one with the mechanics skill, and she can not interact with locked items at all. My story NPCs can all interact with the locks, they walk over and get the "need more mechanics" message as usual. However, my druid, who does not have enough mechanics, can not interact with the lock at all, and neither can my rogue, who does have enough mechanics. Tried dimiss and rehire as well as several reboots, nothing worked.
