Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies	Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Lawson Products, Inc. (the “Company”) have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information, the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not contain all disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles. Reference should be made to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012. In the opinion of the Company, all normal recurring adjustments have been made, that are necessary to present fairly the results of operations for the interim periods. Operating results for the three month periods ended March 31, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2013. Certain reclassifications have been made to prior period amounts to conform to current period presentation. Such reclassifications have no effect on net income as previously reported. The effect of restricted share awards and future stock option exercises equivalent to 42 thousand and 39 thousand shares for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, would have been anti-dilutive and therefore, were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share. There have been no material changes in our significant accounting policies during the three months ended March 31, 2013 as compared to the significant accounting policies described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012. The Company has determined that there were no subsequent events to recognize or disclose in these financial statements.

Debt Disclosure [Abstract]

Revolving Line of Credit

Credit Facility

In 2012, the Company entered into a $40.0 million credit facility (“Credit Facility”) which expires in August 2017. The Credit Facility consists of a $40.0 million revolving credit facility which includes a $10.0 million sub-facility for Letters of Credit. Until the later of June 30, 2014 or when the Company achieves certain financial covenants, credit available under the Credit Facility is based upon:


a)	80% of the face amount of the Company’s eligible accounts receivables, generally less than 60 days past due, and


b)	50% of the lower of cost or market value of the Company’s eligible inventory, generally inventory expected to be sold within 18 months or $20.0 million, whichever is less.

The applicable interest rate margins for borrowings under the Credit Facility are at the Prime rate or the LIBOR rate plus 2.75% for the first year and LIBOR plus 2.50% for the second year of the agreement. Following the second year, the interest rate will be based on the Company’s debt to EBITDA ratio and range from LIBOR plus 1.25% to 1.85% or Prime minus 1.00% to 0.40%.

The Credit Facility is secured by a first priority perfected security interest in substantially all existing assets of the Company. Dividends are restricted under the Credit Facility to amounts not to exceed $1.1 million per quarter subject to a formula based on EBITDA achieved in the previous quarter compared to amounts specified in the Credit Facility.

In addition to other customary representations, warranties and covenants, the Credit Facility requires the Company to comply with certain financial covenants. A minimum Consolidated EBITDA level, as defined in the Credit Facility, must be achieved on a quarterly basis as detailed in the following table:



Quarter Ended	Minimum EBITDA (as Defined in the Credit Facility)
March 31, 2013	$	0
June 30, 2013	2,000,000
September 30, 2013	3,500,000
December 31, 2013	3,000,000
March 31, 2014	3,500,000
June 30, 2014	3,500,000

For the period ended March 31, 2013, EBITDA, as defined in the Credit Facility, was $0.7 million which was in compliance with the minimum EBITDA covenant of breakeven for the quarter.

Upon meeting certain financial covenants, but not prior to June 30, 2014, the availability under the Credit Facility will be based upon the following covenants with a maximum borrowing level of $40.0 million:


a)	Minimum Debt Service Coverage Ratio of 1.20:1.00 measured quarterly beginning June 30, 2014 and building cumulatively to a rolling four quarters.


b)	Minimum Tangible Net Worth of not less than 90% of the value of shareholders’ equity less intangible assets established as of June 30, 2014, tested quarterly.


c)	Minimum cash, accounts receivable and inventory to debt ratio of 2.0 to 1.0.

At March 31, 2013, the Company had an outstanding balance of $19.8 million under the revolving line of credit of its Credit Facility and additional borrowing availability of $15.8 million. The weighted average interest rate was 3.0% through the three months ended March 31, 2013 and the outstanding balance approximates fair value.

- Definition

The entire disclosure for information about short-term and long-term debt arrangements, which includes amounts of borrowings under each line of credit, note payable, commercial paper issue, bonds indenture, debenture issue, own-share lending arrangements and any other contractual agreement to repay funds, and about the underlying arrangements, rationale for a classification as long-term, including repayment terms, interest rates, collateral provided, restrictions on use of assets and activities, whether or not in compliance with debt covenants, and other matters important to users of the financial statements, such as the effects of refinancing and noncompliance with debt covenants.

Income Tax	3 Months Ended
Income Tax	Mar. 31, 2013
Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
Income Taxes	Income Tax Primarily due to the cumulative losses that the Company recorded over the past three years, in 2012, the Company determined that it was more likely than not that it will not be able to utilize its deferred tax assets to offset future taxable income. Therefore, substantially all deferred tax assets are subject to a tax valuation allowance until the Company can establish that the recoverability of its deferred tax assets is more likely than not to be realized. Due to the full tax valuation allowance, no federal income tax benefit was recorded for the three months ended March 31, 2013. The Company and its subsidiaries are subject to U.S. Federal income tax as well as income tax of multiple state and foreign jurisdictions. As of March 31, 2013, the Company is subject to U.S. Federal income tax examinations for the years 2009 through 2011 and income tax examinations from various other jurisdictions for the years 2006 through 2011. The Company is currently under examination by the Canada Revenue Authority for the years 2006 through 2010 and the Company is complying with the information requests and procedural requirements of the examination. Earnings from the Company’s foreign subsidiaries are considered to be indefinitely reinvested. A distribution of these non-U.S. earnings in the form of dividends or otherwise would subject the Company to both U.S. Federal and state income taxes, as adjusted for foreign tax credits.

- Definition

The entire disclosure for income taxes. Disclosures may include net deferred tax liability or asset recognized in an enterprise's statement of financial position, net change during the year in the total valuation allowance, approximate tax effect of each type of temporary difference and carryforward that gives rise to a significant portion of deferred tax liabilities and deferred tax assets, utilization of a tax carryback, and tax uncertainties information.

Contingent Liability (Notes)

Contingent Liability [Abstract]

Legal Matters and Contingencies [Text Block]

Contingent Liabilities

One of the Company’s subsidiaries, Drummond American LLC (“Drummond”), is under an employment tax examination for the years 2007 and 2008 of the long-standing treatment of its sales representatives as independent contractors. In January 2012 the Company received a Notice of Proposed Adjustment in the amount of $9.5 million, including penalties, from the IRS challenging Drummond’s position that the sales representatives were independent contractors. The Company disagreed with the IRS position and filed an administrative appeal with the IRS Appeals Office.

Although the Company intends to vigorously defend its position for the treatment of its sales representatives as independent contractors, the Company established a liability of $1.2 million during 2011 as its best estimate of the cost to resolve the matter with the IRS. The notice of Proposed Adjustment was determined by applying the full statutory rates and penalties, rather than applying the reduced tax rates provided by section 3509 of the Internal Revenue Code (“IRC”). The Company believes the use of reduced tax rates is mandatory for all IRS worker classification assessments, except when the employer intentionally disregarded its employment tax obligations. Because the Company believes it fully complied with its employment tax obligations, the Company based its estimated loss at the reduced tax rates. The Company applied these reduced tax rates against only one year because any settlement resolution would likely be limited to one year as this is consistent with the IRS’s settlement practices. The Company has assessed its potential exposure for other subsidiaries and time periods and has concluded that an additional liability is not probable. No adjustment has been proposed by the IRS for any other time periods or subsidiaries of the Company.

The case has been assigned to the Chicago Appeals Office. The Company is unable to establish an estimated time frame in which the case will be resolved through the appeals process. An unfavorable outcome of this matter could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

In 2012, the Company identified that a site owned by its Automatic Screw Machine Products (“ASMP”) subsidiary in Alabama contained hazardous substances in the soil and groundwater as a result of historical operations prior to the Company's ownership. The Company has retained an environmental consulting firm to further investigate the contamination including the measurement and monitoring of the site. At this time insufficient data regarding the situation has been collected to reasonably estimate the cost, if any, of remedying this situation. Accordingly, the Company has not established a reserve for any remediation costs.

In 2012, the Company contracted with a third party for the installation of material handling equipment in the Company's new McCook, Illinois distribution center. The third party, in turn, hired subcontractors to complete the project. As of December 31, 2012, certain of the subcontractors had not yet been paid in full which could have resulted in the the subcontractors to file mechanic's liens against the property. While such liens would be the responsibility of the third party, the Company could, under certain circumstances, be required to satisfy any unpaid obligations. During the first quarter of 2013, the third party made significant progress in making payments to the subcontractors. As a result, the Company estimates its possible net exposure has been reduced to zero since year end and it believes the chance that it would be required to satisfy any unpaid obligations is remote. Accordingly, no amount has been accrued in the accompanying financial statements.

Segment Reporting [Abstract]

Segment Reporting

The Company has two reportable operating segments: MRO and OEM. The Company’s MRO segment is a distributor of products and services to the industrial, commercial, institutional, and governmental maintenance, repair and operations marketplace. The Company’s OEM segment manufactures, sells and distributes production and specialized component parts to the original equipment marketplace. The Company’s two reportable segments are distinguished by the nature of products distributed and sold, types of customers and manner of servicing them. The Company evaluates performance and allocates resources to reportable segments primarily based on operating income.

The following table presents summary financial information for the Company’s reportable segments:
