The invention concerns a biometric lock and a method for granting access to an object which is secured by such biometric lock. A terminal establishes a connection with an administration interface of the biometric lock via a communication network. An authorization procedure is executed in between the terminal and the biometric lock. If the authorization is positive, the biometric lock grants access to the administration interface. The terminal transfers biometric data of a new user, who shall be authorized to lock and/or unlock the biometric lock, to the biometric lock. It registers the new user and stores the received biometric data of the new user in a user registry. In the following, it compares actual received biometric data of a person requesting to access the object with the transfered biometric data. If the comparison is positive, the biometric lock is unlocked.
