A valve timing adjusting device includes a first rotor that rotates synchronously with a crankshaft of an engine, a second rotor that is relatively rotatable by a predetermined angle within the first rotor and is secured on the end face of an intake or exhaust camshaft, and a lock mechanism that restricts a relative rotation between the first rotor and the second rotor. The receiving hole of the lock mechanism is a stepped structure having a small part provided at the outermost located radially to the device.
