How pick-resistant are the locks on standard fireproof filing cabinets?

Standard fireproof filing cabinet locks are not high-security pick-resistant locks — they're utility-grade key locks intended to prevent casual unauthorized access. A determined person with basic lock-picking tools or experience could likely open a standard filing cabinet lock. For environments requiring genuine security against determined theft, a higher-security lock cylinder upgrade (Medeco, Mul-T-Lock, or similar high-security cylinders) can be installed on most filing cabinets, or a GSA-approved security container should be used instead. For standard office use where you're protecting against unauthorized casual access by employees, standard filing cabinet locks are generally adequate.
