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 and six month periods ended June 30, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2013. Following the discontinuance of the Company's Original Equipment Manucfaturers ("OEM") segment (See Note 2 - Discontinued Operations), the Company operates in one remaining reportable segment; the Maintenance, Repair and Operations ("MRO") segment as a distributor of products and services to the industrial, commercial, institutional, and governmental maintenance, repair and operations marketplace. The condensed consolidated financial statements have been reclassified for all prior periods presented to reflect current discontinued operations treatment. Such reclassifications have no effect on net income as previously reported. The effect of restricted share awards and future stock option exercises equivalent to approximately 72,000 and 27,000 shares for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and approximately 57,000 and 34,000 shares for the six months ended June 30, 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 the Company's significant accounting policies during the six months ended June 30, 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 receivable, generally less than 60 days past due, and


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

The applicable interest rates on borrowings under the Credit Facility are either 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 which begins on August 8, 2013. 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, if the Company elects, Prime minus 1.00% to 0.40%.

The Credit Facility is secured by a first priority perfected security interest in substantially all the 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)
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 June 30, 2013, EBITDA, as defined in the Credit Facility, was $2.8 million, which was in compliance with the minimum EBITDA covenant in effect at June 30, 2013. The Company anticipates that the minimum required EBITDA for future quarters will be reduced to reflect the anticipated closing on the sale of ASMP.

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 June 30, 2013, the Company had an outstanding balance of $23.3 million under the revolving line of credit of its Credit Facility and additional borrowing availability of $15.0 million. The Company paid interest of $0.4 million and $0.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The weighted average interest rate was 3.0% through the six months ended June 30, 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	6 Months Ended
Income Tax	Jun. 30, 2013
Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
Income Taxes	Income Taxes 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. Although the Company is in a full tax valuation allowance position, a tax benefit of $0.7 million was recorded in continuing operations for the six months ended June 30, 2013, primarily due to the allocation of tax expenses between continuing and discontinued operations. 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 June 30, 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 ("CRA") for the years 2006 through 2010. The CRA issued a preliminary audit proposal on May 2, 2013, proposing increases to taxable income of $3.4 million Canadian dollars for the tax years 2008 and 2009. No adjustments were proposed for 2006, 2007 or 2010. The Company plans to aggressively contest these assessments and believes that it is more likely than not that the Company will eventually prevail in this matter. 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)	6 Months Ended
Contingent Liability (Notes)	Jun. 30, 2013
Contingent Liability [Abstract]
Legal Matters and Contingencies [Text Block]	Contingent Liabilities Employment tax matter One of the Company’s subsidiaries, Drummond American LLC (“Drummond”), is under an employment tax examination for the years 2007 and 2008 related 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 Internal Revenue Service ("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 IRS 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. Environmental matters In 2012, the Company identified that a site owned by its 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 have 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. Subcontractor payments 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 subcontractors filing 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 six months of 2013, the third party made the required 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 condensed consolidated financial statements.

Goodwill Impairment [Abstract]

Goodwill and Intangible Assets Disclosure [Text Block]

Goodwill Impairment

During the second quarter of 2012, the Company evaluated goodwill for potential impairment by determining if certain qualitative events had occurred or if circumstances had changed that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying value. As a result of this evaluation, the Company identified indicators of impairment related to operating losses and reduced market capitalization and, therefore, performed an interim impairment test of goodwill.

The Company estimated the fair value of the MRO reporting unit using a discounted cash flow analysis based on its current internal operating forecast to determine the reporting unit’s fair value. After completing the analysis, the Company concluded that the entire amount of the goodwill was impaired and a non-cash charge of $28.3 million was recorded in the second quarter of 2012.

Goodwill activity for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 was as follows:

For each goodwill impairment loss recognized, discloses: (a) a description of the facts and circumstances leading to the impairment, (b) the amount of the impairment loss and the method of determining the fair value of the associated reporting unit, and (c) if a recognized impairment loss is an estimate not finalized and the reasons why the estimate is not final.
