Narrative:
Preflight of the airplane; cargo; nets; locks; and hazmat appeared to be satisfactory for flight. The load master also assured me that the cargo; nets; locks; and hazmat was ready for flight. After blocking in; the station representative pointed out that the pallet in station rl was not locked down. I will better check behind the loading crew and load master from now on. Factors: 1) paint on locks deteriorated. 2) locks may have been up but not locked. 3) cargo on pallets overhang and make it difficult to see.
