Yes, this is an ongoing issue.  We have posted special signs on
doors reminding users to secure lab when no one is in lab, some
research areas have chosen to secure whole hallways with
keyless cypher locks, etc.  One can only go so far, research
labs value the freedom to freely visit one anothers labs and
exchange ideas, information in the interest of research.
Tightly "locked and chained" doors are not easily accepted in
this environment.
