The closing device according to claim 1, wherein the opening gives access to a cavity of the lid into which said hole for access to said latch opens, and the opening has the shape of an "L" of which one limb, perpendicular to the hole axis, allows the key to rotate about the axis of the socket from one of the locking and unlocking positions to the other position when the socket is inserted in the hole, and prohibits translation of the arm parallel to the hole when the arm is substantially perpendicular to the lid and the socket is inserted in the hole. 3. The closing device according to claim 2, wherein the cavity has a first wall inclined to guide the socket in the cavity. 4. The closing device according to claim 1, wherein said handle is opposite the socket. 5. The closing device according to claim 3, wherein the hole is formed in a second wall, orthogonal to the first wall, and a shaft bearing the latch is arranged in the hole. 6. The device according to claim 5, wherein the socket has an internal axial rib cooperating with an axial groove on the shaft bearing the latch. 7. The device according to claim 2, wherein the socket of the key has, on an opening part, two external opposite stubs cooperating with guiding ribs at the bottom of the cavity and passing through the hole, having an edge with notches corresponding to the stubs. 8. The device according to claim 6, wherein the shaft bearing the latch turns on a lug parallel to the second wall and having a flat part connecting to the rotation shaft and the latch as an angle iron. 9. The device according to claim 8, wherein the latch is elastically held by a first limb of the angle iron between the lug and the second wall in the hole by a spring and washers. 10. The device according to claim 9, wherein a second limb of the angle iron cooperates with the catch in a longitudinal member. 11. The device according to claim 9, wherein a second limb of the angle iron has a hole with a flat part cooperating with the flat part on a shaft for rotating the latch. 12. A closing device with selective locking for closing a frame comprising: a substantially flat and rigid lid selectively applied to a frame; a lock connected with the lid; and a key which has a socket and an arm, a first end of the arm carrying the socket, the lid having an opening for access to the lock for the key, the lock having a latch which cooperates with a catch on the frame, and the key selectively having, with respect to the opening, a locking position which the key can leave freely and in which the latch is trapped by the catch, and an unlocking position in which the key is trapped in the opening and in which the latch is disengaged from the catch wherein the arm has an axis and the socket has an axis substantially perpendicular to the axis of the arm so that the socket can engage a hole in the lid for access to the latch, the hole being located in the lid under an upper wall, and having an axis parallel to the upper wall, such that the socket is inserted into the hole along the axis of the hole, the arm is substantially perpendicular to the lid when the key is in the unlocking position, the key has a handle connected to a second end of the arm and substantially perpendicular to the arm for lifting the lid in the unlocked position and lowering the lid to a closed position, the opening providing access to a cavity of the lid into which the hole for access to the latch opens, and the opening has an "L" shape of which one limb, perpendicular to the axis of the hole, allows the key to rotate about the axis of the socket from one of the locking and unlocking positions to the other of the unlocking and locking positions when the socket is inserted in the hole, and prohibits translation of the arm parallel to the hole when the arm is substantially perpendicular to the lid and the socket is inserted in the hole. 13.
