Any ideas how to tighten this handle?
It's threaded but I can't see how to tighten it up
Don't mind bodging it up

Will the silver end cap on vertical bit of handle come off? Maybe you'd be able to see a bolt head in there?
The small holes are probably there for a reason but I can't see what's going on.
I doubt it's tightened from the inside of the door as there'd be insulation in the way.

As above, will the end caps come off? Can you see what's in the small hole, is there a screw head or an allen key hole? If neither try pushing something into the hole & see if something releases.

Have you searched online for a manual?

Looks like the pointy end of a metal screw through the hole? Bad news if it is.

Edit: scratch that. Having enhanced the pic, it doesn't look like a screw thread but does look metallic

Model would be useful

There will be a manual out there somewhere

Most likely you need to dismantle the handle first.

Looks like a blanking plug in the hole,would be tempted to use a screwdriver and see if it comes out and what is behind it,as stated cannot see it being fitted from the inside of the door.

It looks like there's a grub screw underneath. If you move the handle towards the door does the threaded bolt move or remain stationary?

No it's some sort of clip and I have tried putting a screwdriver in hoping it might open the clips so I could push the handle back but no go go and the handle won't budgies so it won't go in or out but it's slowly working it's way out

I plan to dig the whole freezer out this weekend to see what the model number is on the back
