How secure are the locks on flat file cabinets?

Standard flat file cabinet locks are utility-grade key cylinder locks that provide reasonable deterrence against casual unauthorized access — not high-security protection against a determined individual. The locks prevent drawers from being easily opened without the key, protecting the contents from casual browsing or accidental access. For more sensitive materials (confidential client drawings, proprietary designs), an upgraded lock cylinder from a high-security lock manufacturer can be installed. For classified or truly sensitive materials, a combination-locked security cabinet with additional vaulting is appropriate. For most professional environments — architecture, engineering, design — standard flat file locks provide adequate protection.
