Thrust reverse/twin engine jet aircraft

Noticed today that the NTSB issued a report on the recent incident with an AmericaWest A320 at PHX a few weeks ago.
The aeroplane left the side of the runway and the nose gear collapsed.
According to the report, a thrust reverser was locked out and the crew used reverse on the other engine after touchdown.

What are your airlines procedures in this case? As I have flown only 3/4 engine jets, a locked out reverser does not present too much of a problem, provided caution is used.
