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, 2014. 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 period ended March 31, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2015. Certain reclassifications have been made to the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet for December 31, 2014 to conform to current period presentation. The Company operates in one 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 effect of restricted stock awards, market stock units and future stock option exercises equivalent to approximately 184,000 and 117,000 shares for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, 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 three months ended March 31, 2015 as compared to the significant accounting policies described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014.

Loan Agreement

Debt Disclosure [Abstract]

Loan Agreement

In 2012, the Company entered into a Loan and Security Agreement (“Loan Agreement”) which expires in August 2017. Due to the lock box arrangement and a subjective acceleration clause contained in the borrowing agreement, any outstanding borrowings under the revolving line of credit is classified as a current liability. The Loan Agreement consists of a $40.0 million revolving line of credit facility, which includes a $10.0 million sub-facility for letters of credit. In December 2013, the Company entered into a Second Amendment to Loan and Security Agreement ("Second Amendment") which revised certain terms of the original Loan Agreement.

Credit available under the Loan Agreement 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, generally inventory expected to be sold within 18 months, or $20.0 million.

The applicable interest rates for borrowings are at the Prime rate or, if the Company elects, the LIBOR rate plus 1.50% to 1.85% based on the Company’s debt to EBITDA ratio. The Loan Agreement is secured by a first priority perfected security interest in substantially all existing assets of the Company. Dividends are restricted to amounts not to exceed $7.0 million annually.

At March 31, 2015, the Company had no borrowings under its revolving line of credit facility and additional borrowing availability of $33.4 million. The Company paid interest of $0.1 million and $0.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The weighted average interest rate was 3.25% for the three months ended March 31, 2015.

In addition to other customary representations, warranties and covenants, we are required to meet a minimum trailing twelve month EBITDA to fixed charges ratio, as defined in the Loan Agreement, and a minimum quarterly tangible net worth level as defined in the Second Amendment. On March 31, 2015, we were in compliance with all financial covenants as detailed below:



Quarterly Financial Covenants	Requirement	Actual
EBITDA to fixed charges ratio	1.10 : 1.00	2.37 : 1.00
Minimum tangible net worth	$45.0 million	$52.8 million

Stock Based Compensation [Abstract]
Disclosure of Compensation Related Costs, Share-based Payments [Text Block]	Stock-Based Compensation The Company recorded a stock-based compensation benefit of $0.5 million in the first quarter of 2015 reflecting a decline in the price of the Company's common stock during the period. A $1.1 million expense was recorded in the first quarter of 2014 as the price of the Company's common stock increased during that period. A summary of stock based awards issued during the three months ended March 31, 2015 follows: Stock Performance Rights ("SPRs") The Company issued 380,000 SPRs to a key employee with an average exercise price of $28.40 per share that vest ratably on January 12, 2016, 2017 and 2018, and have a termination date of January 12, 2022. The Company also issued 29,373 SPRs to key employees with an exercise price of $25.16 per share that cliff vest on December 31, 2017 and have a termination date of December 31, 2022. Market Stock Units ("MSUs") The Company issued 30,633 MSUs to key employees with a vesting date of December 31, 2017. MSU's are exchangeable for the Company's common shares at the end of the vesting period. The number of shares of common stock that will be issued upon vesting, ranging from zero to 45,951, will be determined based upon the trailing thirty-day average closing price of the Company's common stock on December 31, 2017. Stock Options The Company issued 40,000 nonqualified stock options to a key employee with a weighted average exercise price of $28.40. The stock options vest ratably on January 12, 2016, 2017 and 2018, and have a term of 7 years.

Income Tax	3 Months Ended
Income Tax	Mar. 31, 2015
Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
Income Taxes	Income Taxes Primarily due to the cumulative losses that the Company has incurred over the past three years, 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 expense of $0.1 million was recorded in continuing operations for the three months ended March 31, 2015, primarily due to state taxes and reserves for uncertain tax positions. The tax benefit of $0.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 was due to the allocation of income taxes between continuing and discontinued operations partly offset by state taxes and reserves for uncertain tax positions. 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, 2015, the Company is subject to U.S. Federal income tax examinations for the years 2011 through 2013 and income tax examinations from various other jurisdictions for the years 2006 through 2013. The Company is also currently under examination by the Canada Revenue Authority ("CRA") for the years 2006 through 2010. The CRA examination was completed during May 2013 and resulted in proposed adjustments which amount to $1.3 million of additional tax for the 2008 and 2009 tax years. The Company is not in agreement with these adjustments and filed a request with Competent Authority programs in both the U.S. and Canada in October, 2013. The Competent Authority program assists taxpayers with respect to matters covered in the mutual agreement procedure provisions of tax treaties. Management has not recorded a reserve and is confident that the Company will prevail in this matter. The Company is unable to establish an estimated time frame in which this issue will be resolved through Competent Authority. 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.

As part of the review of the potential impact of a sale, the Company determined that the full carrying amount of the asset was not recoverable. Therefore, the Company recorded a $2.9 million non-cash impairment charge. In the second quarter of 2014, the Company completed the sale of the distribution center and entered into a 10-year agreement to leaseback approximately one-half of the facility that we had been utilizing.

Contingent Liability Contingent Liability (Notes)	Mar. 31, 2015
Contingent Liability [Abstract]
Legal Matters and Contingencies [Text Block]	Contingent Liabilities In 2012, the Company identified that a site it owns in Decatur, Alabama contains 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. In August 2013, the site was enrolled in Alabama's voluntary cleanup program. On October 30, 2014, the Company received estimates from its environmental consulting firm with three potential remediation solutions. The estimates include a range of viable remedial approaches, but agreement with Alabama’s voluntary cleanup program has not yet been reached. The first solution includes limited excavation and removal of the contaminated soil along with monitoring for a period up to 10 years. The second solution includes the first solution plus the installation of a groundwater extraction system. The third scenario includes the first and second solutions plus treatment injections to reduce the degradation time. The estimated expenditures over a 10-year period under the three scenarios range from $0.3 million to $1.4 million, of which up to $0.3 million may be capitalized. As the Company has determined that a loss is probable, however no scenario is more likely than the other at this time, a liability in the amount of $0.3 million was established in 2014. As of March 31, 2015, approximately $0.3 million remains accrued for remediation in other long-term liabilities on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.
