In a valve timing control device, a control means is configured to carry out feeding one of retarding and advancing chambers with a hydraulic pressure upon starting of the engine; actuating one of first and second disengaging mechanisms to cancel the engagement of one of first and second projectable members with the corresponding one of first and second engaging portions; feeding the other of the retarding and advancing chambers with a hydraulic pressure to turn a vane member in a housing within a range determined by each of the first and second engaging portions; and actuating, while the vane member is under the rotational movement within the range, the other of the first and second disengaging mechanisms to cancel the engagement of the other of the first and second projectable members with the corresponding one of the first and second engaging portions.
