Dad my bedroom door handle won't stay up so the door won't shut. How do I fix it?

So the first part I can answer - see that hole on the right under the handle?

There should be a little screw bit in there you can tighten or loosen using an alen key. It looks to be missing.

Odds are it just fell out (look on the floor nearby) - sometimes years of motion just does that.

As for the second part, no idea XD

Thanks dad checked the floor no sign. I have cats so it's likely gone forever

I think it's called a grub screw, take a photo of the door handle and head to a local hardware shop. Odds are they'll be happy to help if you ask, and the photo will lend a hand on size.
