This is about security measures if the key of a car has been lost or stolen; then an new key must be cut. I can't find how to describe this in french: to cut a key.

faire un double de clé
I know that cutting a copy of a key isn't quite the same as cutting a whole new key if the original has been lost; however, I'm not quite sure just how that distinction is made in FR.

However, I note that 'replacement' doesn't actually appear in the source text — and I can only suppose that a 'new' key must ultimately be cut as some kind of 'copy' from a special type of customizable 'master' key (unless digitally-controlled machining techniques are used?)
In any case, I think they key term here is the verb 'to cut', which I've only ever personally encountered as 'faire' in this context — albeit perhaps my exposure has only been to colloquial usage...

reproduire un double de clé
En serrurerie, on parle de "reproduction de clés".
Quant à "replacement keys", "des doubles" ou "doubles de clés" est très usité.

: "reproduire un double" est un pléonasme en français !!!

Effectivement, "reproduction de clés" suffit. Je cherchais un verbe autre que "faire" pour aller avec "double".

J'avais aussi pensé à "double de clé". Le problème c'est qu'ici la clé "originale" est perdue, donc on ne peut la dupliquer ou la reproduire oula copier.
