Why this blank stands out

How to use

1. Take your original GM key as a reference for the blade shape and depth.
2. Have a locksmith or key-cutting machine setup to duplicate a traditional, single-sided key blade.
3. Cut the Hillman B-77 blank to match the original, then insert and test in the ignition and door locks.
4. Verify smooth operation: the key should turn with minimal resistance and sit flush in the lock cylinder.

Practical tips for best results

• Store the blank in a dry place to prevent corrosion of the brass head.
• Label spare keys to avoid confusion with other GM keys in your collection.
• Remember: this is best suited for traditional GM keys without transponder chips; if your vehicle uses a chip key, you’ll need a different blank and programming steps.
