however you answered too fast with

Yeah, but those items are single use items that behave as if you were using the perk. They don't replace the perk you started off with.

I sent you a VM, but I'll spell it out here as well in case others have the same question.

Those NPCs have a Perk, but they don't teach it like Abilities get taught. To get them to use those Perks, you need to have the Escort/Protect Ability (the Perk use is involved with the Escort part of the ability, which is only active during the Day Cycles). But yeah, using Escort on them allows you to take advantage of that NPC's size characteristics, type characteristics, or a Perk they might have and gets them to use those for you. So for example, if it was the Day Cycle and you wanted to Remnashi the Lombre to use his Security Perk on something like {Locked Safe: <Security>}, you would use Escort on him, and then target the {Locked Safe: <Security>} and say you'd like for him to use his Security Perk on that safe. Here's a perfect example of how Escort was used on Rei to have her Ice-Type characteristic on the {Magical Forcefield: +Ice Type+} barrier. But it works the same way with Perks.

But yeah, once you choose a Perk when you sign up and make your character, you stick with that for the duration of the Season. That Perk can't be changed or forgotten. If there's a barrier or task you need a Perk for and you don't happen to have it, that's where you need to coordinate with your teammates to get someone else to address it, or find ways to circumvent that, such as using Escort. A third option is as you highlighted, buying [P: Lockpicking Tools] as a one-time use of Security, but that does cost money and you may want this to be a last resort kind of thing considering having another player with the Security Perk use Security or having another player use Escort is free and doesn't cost anything. But yeah, there's multiple ways of getting past obstacles like this.
