A twist lock comprises two components—a male component and a female component, where the two components interlock with each other. A plurality of alignment features is provided within the female component for facilitating the male component to engage with the female component. The twist lock helps latch two separate pieces together where precise tight/closed position is required. The twist lock may also be employed in evacuated tube transportation (ETT) systems for automated docking.
