Overhead locking device

An electric locking device adapted for use with a bi-directional door having an inswing side and an outswing side, wherein the electric lock device is adapted for selectively locking and unlocking the door to a door frame, the door being pivotally coupled to the door frame, the electric locking device comprising:

• a) a lock housing configured to be mounted to said door frame, wherein said lock housing includes a top wall and an open bottom opposite said top wall;
• and
• b) a first keeper and a second keeper both movably connected to said lock housing, wherein the first keeper is configured to be positioned on the inswing side of the door and the second keeper is configured to be positioned on the outswing side of the door, wherein each of said first keeper and said second keeper include a keeper shaft having a shaft axis of rotation,
• i) wherein each of said first keeper and said second keeper is rotatable about said respective shaft axis of rotation between a first rotational position and a second rotational position,
• ii) wherein each of said first keeper and said second keeper is also movable between a first directional position and a second directional position relative to said lock housing,
• iii) wherein when said respective keeper is in said first rotational position and said first directional position, said door is secured to said door frame by said respective keeper, and
• iv) wherein when said respective keeper is in said second rotational position and said second directional position, said door is allowed to move away from said door frame.
