A door-opened-prevention mechanism comprises a lever member, and a biasing member biasing the lever member toward a set position. The lever member is assembled to a connection lever. The lever member is movable between the set position and a fallback position which is in a vehicle outer direction to the set position. When an inertia force, exerted on an outer handle toward the vehicle outer direction at the time of vehicle impact, is not exerted on the outer handle, the lever member is kept in the set position to enable a necessary and sufficient movement of the connection lever in a direction for opening a door, and when the inertia force is exerted on the outer handle, the lever member moves to the fallback position prior to movement of the outer handle for opening the door so as not to enable the necessary and sufficient movement of the connection lever.
