Files that are not mergeable are automatically exclusively checked out. If two people could check them out, then you would run into situations where you needed to merge. If you go into the admin web page (or admin tool if on an older version), you can change which files are mergeable and not mergeable in the repository settings under File Types.
Another option would be to work in CVS mode. Checkouts aren't required in CVS mode. CVS mode is only available if you are using the Fortress GUI client by itself and not integrated with another program or if you are working with the Fortress Enhanced Client when working integrated with Visual Studio.
