Risk of disabling page locking
In the referenced link How to force the use of row locks? Paul White demonstrates that index reorganization cannot happen if that index has page locks disabled. 

You can, of course, reset Page locking back on before doing a reorganization and then turn it off again afterward:

-- Allow page locks on Index
ALTER INDEX indexname ON tablename SET (ALLOW_PAGE_LOCKS = ON);


For what it is worth, in response to this question https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3114826/is-it-possible-to-force-row-level-locking-in-sql-server Remus Rusanu gives the statement on disabling page locking on an index.  But he also comments: "I would never turn this OFF on my database. The solution is always to properly design the schema and the queries so that scans (which are the culprits for escalation) don't occur to start with."

This does not mean that it is wrong to disable page locking, but it points out that there are other ways to work through the problem.
