A set of car keys

Mike produced a set of car keys from his pocket and laid them on the kitchen counter.

How natural is "produced" here? And does it mean exactly the same as "pulled out" or "took out" in the context?

The car keys is not Mike's so I can't write "his car keys". Would you say "a set of car keys" or "some car keys"?

If I write "a set of car keys" should it then be "it" instead of "them"?

Thank you in advance.
