To provide an operating device with a lock for a vehicle seat or the like improved to operate an actuator separating from the operating device by transmitting the rotation of a shaft member to an operative mechanism through a cable, though a constitution where the shaft member is rotated, is applied.

A lock device portion L has a lock spring 7 locked in a drum 6 by frictional force, and a shaft guide 13 for connecting and disconnecting frictional force of the lock spring 7. A rotation transmitting shaft member 30 rotated by the rotation of shaft guide, is mounted on the shaft guide 13, and a holder guide 43 for transmitting the operating rotation of the shaft guide 13 to the operative mechanism S, is mounted on the rotation transmitting shaft member 30 in a state of being integrally rotated. A radial engagement groove 44 is formed on the holder guide 43, and a tip of an inner cable 46 of a wire cable 45 is locked in the engagement groove 44. A cover case 51 provided with an outer locking portion 53 for locking a tip of an outer tube 52, is mounted on a drum case 5.
