Medeco, ABUS, Abloy, Masterlock, American lock, Tri-Circle, CISA, GUARD, BEST. They are pretty much all considered High-Security.

If these are older and rare locks, they may have some value. However, if these are just a collection of average modern locks (albeit high security), I wouldn’t expect them to change in value over time by much. If anything, they will probably decrease in value as newer products are developed. Buying locks isn’t exactly a form of financial investment.

I don't expect my collection to increase in value over time.

Tri-circle?
Anyway yes as said look at the 2-300 year old locks you can get, still not worth a lot unless big chuncks of brass that used to hold a safe together.
They will be worth more as scrap value than collectors dust stands.
