Narrative:

Upon a cat 1 approach into ZZZZ; we taxied to the gate. Upon arrival the ground crew opened the smoke curtain and immediately came to the flight deck informing us the hazmat can door was not properly secured and resting against the smoke curtain. I remember the hazmat can inspection very well. We had a lot of hazardous materials and a lot of separation issues but all were complied with; the hazardous materials folder was in compliance and the hazmat can was properly secured to line 2. I watched the handlers in ZZZ1 zip up the smoke curtain properly and properly secure the 9 G net. I did my final cabin preparation and flew to ZZZZ uneventful until the ground crew informed us that the door to the hazmat can was not attached.cause: I never in a million years would have thought I need to make sure the door is secured to the hazmat can. We check the can; check the hose; watch the smoke barrier and 9 g net but I should watch them attach the door. This is a busy time of flight when we were getting the final and checking numbers but the safety concerns surpass all. Suggestions: find time or wait and watch the hazmat can door being closed and secure. We had a full load of hazmat with incompatibles that had the correct spacing but all is mute if the door is not attached. From now on; I will watch the door being attached and check it is secure before they close the curtain and net.
