All file cabinets or safes had combinations, or keys. The type of data stored in each was determined by the classification, and everything that came in our door had a classification except food wrappings.

Also electronic files and personal work computers are required to be backed up regularly to a server, ( our requirement was at least weekly) in case of some catastrophic event (power failure, fire, flood, etc) which caused a lost of our on-site data, that data could be recovered as of the last backup. I doubt that Comey's office was any less secured than ours.
