The guard in question is a lizardman so he's not going to be seduced by a mammal. And Tarquin clearly hands out informational pamphlets to educate his guards against simple tricks.

In a outside rescue situation a door is not going to stop the party of heroes. A locked door they can't open is just something you'll need to replace after they break it down.
