    Abstract: In an outer handle device for a vehicle door, a cylinder lock having a key hole is mounted on an handle base in an attitude in which the cylinder lock is inclined downward or upward in going outward in a vehicle width direction while the key hole is made to face an outside when an operating handle is in an operated position but the key hole is covered by an handle main body when the operating handle is in a non-operated position. A provisional holding device is provided between the handle base and the cylinder lock, provisionally holds a mounted position and a mounted attitude of the cylinder lock with respect to the handle base, and is formed to guide the cylinder lock inserted into an insertion hole provided in the handle base so that the cylinder lock attains the mounted attitude at the mounted position.
