I had the occasional problems with boys being boys and eating me out of house and home when they were teens but where I had the most problem with my fridge was when I was taking care of my mom. She had alzheimers and she was doing exactly what your son is doing...getting up in the night and going through my fridge and eating everything or just taking stuff out and making messes. I couldnt allow this to go on. Actually, we had to completely toddler proof my house again for her.
You say you have the two door fridge with the freezer on top and the fridge on bottom right? So the handles are in alignment with two handles. Thats what we had. We ran a chain around the fridge and looped it through the freezer handle and then snapped a padlock on the chain. you could do that with the dog tie out thing you are talking about. It just has to be the correct length so you dont have room for the door to open enough for the hands to get in.
We had those toddler doorknob grippers on all doors and the magnetic locks on all cabinets. I swear she was a pain! My toddlers were never as bad as she was...lol.
