Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies	The significant accounting policies should be read in conjunction with the significant accounting policies included in the Form 10-K for the year ended December 29, 2018 . Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses for the reporting periods. Actual results may differ from these estimates. Reclassifications: Certain amounts in the prior year consolidated financial statements were reclassified to conform to the current year’s presentation. The reclassifications were primarily related to the reclassification of the mark-to-market adjustment of our interest rate swap from other income/expense to its own line on the income statement below income from operations. The reclassification had no impact on the prior periods’ statement of financial position, net income (loss), cash flows, or stockholder’s equity. Revenue Recognition: Revenue is recognized when control of goods or services is transferred to our customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. Sales and other taxes the Company collects concurrent with revenue-producing activities are excluded from revenue. The Company offers a variety of sales incentives to its customers primarily in the form of discounts, rebates, and slotting fees. Discounts are recognized in the consolidated financial statements at the date of the related sale. Rebates are based on the revenue to date and the contractual rebate percentage to be paid. A portion of the cost of the rebate is allocated to each underlying sales transaction. Discounts and rebates are included in the determination of net sales. The Company also establishes reserves for customer returns and allowances. The reserve is established based on historical rates of returns and allowances. The reserve is adjusted quarterly based on actual experience. Returns and allowances are included in the determination of net sales. The following table displays our disaggregated revenue by product category.

Home and access solutions revenues consist primarily of the delivery of keys and key accessories, builders' hardware, wall hanging, threaded rod products, letters, numbers, and signs ("LNS") as well as in-store merchandising services for the related product categories and access to our proprietary key duplicating equipment. Consumer connected solutions revenues consist primarily of sales of keys and identification tags through self-service key duplicating machines and engraving kiosks. Personal protective solutions revenues consist primarily of the delivery of personal protective equipment such as gloves, soft sided tool storage, and eye-wear as well as in-store merchandising services for the related product category. The Company’s performance obligations under its arrangements with customers are providing products, in-store merchandising services, and access to key duplicating and engraving equipment. Generally, the price of the merchandising services and the access to the key duplicating and engraving equipment is included in the price of the related products. Control of products is transferred at the point in time when the customer accepts the goods. Judgment was required in applying the new revenue standard in determining the time at which to recognize revenue for the in-store services and the access to key duplicating and engraving equipment. The Company’s obligation to provide in-store service and access to key duplicating and engraving equipment is satisfied when control of the related products is transferred. Therefore, the entire amount of consideration related to the sale of products, in-store merchandising services, and access to key duplicating and engraving equipment is recognized upon the customer’s acceptance of the products. The revenues for all performance obligations are recognized upon the customer's acceptance of the products. The costs to obtain a contract are insignificant, and generally contract terms do not extend beyond one year. Therefore, these costs are expensed as incurred. Freight and shipping costs and the cost of our in-store merchandising services teams are recognized in selling, general, and administrative expense when control over products is transferred to the customer. The Company used the practical expedient regarding the existence of a significant financing component as payments are due in less than one year after delivery of the products. Long Lived Assets: The Company evaluates its long-lived assets, including definite-lived intangibles assets, for impairment including an evaluation based on the estimated undiscounted future cash flows as events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be fully recoverable. In the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended September 28, 2019 , the Company recorded impairment losses of $96 and $6,896 , respectively, related to the loss on the disposal of its FastKey self-service key duplicating kiosks and related assets. In the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended September 29, 2018 , the Company recorded impairment losses of $832 , primarily related to restructuring in the Canada operating segment, see Note 9 - Restructuring for additional information.

Accounting Changes and Error Corrections [Abstract]
Recent Accounting Pronouncements	In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). Subsequently, in July 2018 the FASB issued ASU 2018-11, Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements and ASU 2018-10, Codification Improvements to Topic 842, Leases . Effective December 30, 2018, the Company adopted the comprehensive new lease standard issued by the FASB. The most significant impact was the recognition of right-of-use ("ROU") assets and liabilities for operating leases and finance leases applicable to lessees. The Company elected to utilize the transition guidance within the new standard which allows the Company to carry forward its historical lease classification(s). Operating and finance lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized based on the present value of future minimum lease payments over the expected lease term at commencement date. As the implicit rate is not determinable in most of the Company’s leases, management uses the Company’s incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of future payments. The Company elected to not separate lease and non-lease components for all classes of underlying assets in which it is the lessee and made an accounting policy election to not account for leases within an initial term of 12 months or less on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. The expected lease terms include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain the Company will exercise such option. Lease expense for minimum lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the expected lease term. As of December 30, 2018 , Company recorded an Operating ROU Asset of $72,785 and a Finance ROU Asset of $672 within our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. Short-term and long-term operating lease liabilities were recorded as $12,040 and $63,291 , respectively. Short-term and long-term finance lease liabilities were determined to be $436 and $477 respectively. The adoption of this guidance did not have an impact on net income. During the thirteen weeks ended September 28, 2019 the Company corrected its method for determining the incremental borrowing rate. This correction resulted in an immaterial correction to the Company’s opening operating lease liability at December 30, 2018 and the interest on lease liabilities in the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended September 28, 2019 . See Note 11 - Leases of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statement for full lease disclosures. In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses . The ASU sets forth a “current expected credit loss” (CECL) model which requires the Company to measure all expected credit losses for financial instruments held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable supportable forecasts. This replaces the existing incurred loss model and is applicable to the measurement of credit losses on financial assets measured at amortized cost and applies to some off-balance sheet credit exposures. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently assessing the impact of the adoption of this ASU on its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Commitments and Contingencies	6. Commitments and Contingencies : The Company self-insures its product liability, automotive, workers' compensation, and general liability losses up to $250 per occurrence. Catastrophic coverage has been purchased from third party insurers for occurrences in excess of $250 up to $60,000 . The two risk areas involving the most significant accounting estimates are workers' compensation and automotive liability. Actuarial valuations performed by the Company's outside risk insurance expert were used by the Company's management to form the basis for workers' compensation and automotive liability loss reserves. The actuary contemplated the Company's specific loss history, actual claims reported, and industry trends among statistical and other factors to estimate the range of reserves required. Risk insurance reserves are comprised of specific reserves for individual claims and additional amounts expected for development of these claims, as well as for incurred but not yet reported claims. The Company believes that the liability of approximately $1,968 recorded for such risks is adequate as of September 28, 2019 . As of September 28, 2019 , the Company has provided certain vendors and insurers letters of credit aggregating $11,736 related to our product purchases and insurance coverage for product liability, workers’ compensation, and general liability. The Company self-insures group health claims up to an annual stop loss limit of $250 per participant. Historical group insurance loss experience forms the basis for the recognition of group health insurance reserves. Provisions for losses expected under these programs are recorded based on an analysis of historical insurance claim data and certain actuarial assumptions. The Company believes that the liability of approximately $2,162 recorded for such risks is adequate as of September 28, 2019 . The Company imports large quantities of fastener products which are subject to customs requirements and to tariffs and quotas set by governments through mutual agreements and bilateral actions. The Company could be subject to the assessment of additional duties and interest if it or its suppliers fail to comply with customs regulations or similar laws. The U.S. Department of Commerce (the "Department”) has received requests from petitioners to conduct administrative reviews of compliance with anti-dumping duty and countervailing duty laws for certain nails products sourced from Asian countries. The Company sourced products under review from vendors in China and Taiwan during the periods selected for review. The Company accrues for the duty expense once it is determined to be probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated. On March 16, 2018, the Department published updated results, which were finalized upon the completion of review of appeals in April 2018. Based on the final results, our liability was reduced to $2,146 at March 31, 2018 from $6,274 at December 30, 2017. The Company recorded income of $0 and $4,128 in the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended September 29, 2018 , which is included in Cost of Goods Sold on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Loss. There were no related charges in the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended September 28, 2019 . On June 3, 2019, The Hillman Group, Inc. ("Hillman Group") filed a complaint for patent infringement against KeyMe, Inc., a provider of self-service key duplication kiosks, in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas (Marshall Division). Hillman Group’s complaint alleges that KeyMe’s self-named and “Locksmith in a Box” key duplication kiosks infringe U.S. Patent Nos. 8,979,446 and 9,914,179, which are assigned to Hillman Group, and seeks damages and injunctive relief against KeyMe. After the United States Patent and Trademark Office issued U.S. Patent No. 10,400,474 to Hillman Group on September 3, 2019, Hillman Group filed a motion the same day to amend its initial complaint to add the new patent to the litigation. The Texas court granted the motion on September 13, 2019. KeyMe filed two motions in the case on July 25, 2019, the first seeking to dismiss Hillman Group's complaint under Rule 12(b)(3) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure for improper venue, or in the alternative, to move the case from Marshall, Texas to the Southern District of New York. KeyMe’s second motion seeks to transfer the venue of the case from Texas to New York under 28 U.S.C. § 1404. Briefing was completed on these motions on September 25, 2019, and they await a decision from the Texas court. On August 16, 2019, KeyMe filed a complaint for patent infringement against Hillman Group in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware. KeyMe alleges that Hillman’s KeyKrafter key duplication machines and MinuteKey self-service key duplication kiosks infringe KeyMe’s U.S. Patent No. 8,682,468 when those machines are used in conjunction with Hillman’s KeyHero system. KeyMe seeks damages and injunctive relief against Hillman. Hillman filed an answer to KeyMe’s complaint on October 23, 2019, and asserted counterclaims seeking declaratory judgments of invalidity and noninfringement of U.S. Patent No. 8,682,468. Management and legal counsel for the Company are of the opinion that the plaintiff’s claim is without merit and the Company should prevail in defending the suit. The Company is unable to estimate the possible loss or range of loss at this early stage in the case. In addition, legal proceedings are pending which are either in the ordinary course of business or incidental to the Company's business. Those legal proceedings incidental to the business of the Company are generally not covered by insurance or other indemnity. In the opinion of the Company's management, the ultimate resolution of the pending litigation matters will not have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial position, operations, or cash flows of the Company.

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
Income Taxes	Accounting Standards Codification 740 (“ASC 740”) requires companies to apply their estimated annual effective tax rate on a year-to-date basis in each interim period. These rates are derived, in part, from expected annual pre-tax income or loss. In the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended September 28, 2019 and the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended September 29, 2018 , the Company applied an estimated annual effective tax rate to the interim period pre-tax loss to calculate the income tax benefit or provision. For the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended September 28, 2019 , the effective income tax rate was 20.6% and 2.6% , respectively. The Company recorded income tax benefit for the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended September 28, 2019 of $(3,775) and $(1,844) , respectively. The effective tax rate for the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended September 28, 2019 was primarily the result of the IRC Section 163(j) interest limitation. Consistent with prior periods, the primary impact of the effective tax rate differential for the thirteen weeks ended September 28, 2019 was due to the Company recording a valuation allowance on its interest limitation carryforward. In addition to the interest limitation, the effective income tax rate differed from the federal statutory tax rate for the thirty-nine weeks ended September 28, 2019 due to certain non-deductible expenses, and state and foreign income taxes. The effective income tax rate for the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended September 29, 2018 was 12.8% and (6.7)% , respectively. The Company recorded an income tax benefit for the thirteen weeks ended September 29, 2018 of $(1,565) and an income tax provision of $2,182 for the thirty-nine weeks ended September 29, 2018 . The effective income tax rate for the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended September 29, 2018 was primarily the result of the new provisions introduced by the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the "Tax Act") including the new provision on Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income ("GILTI") and the IRC Section 163(j) interest limitation. The effective income tax rate differed from the federal statutory rate in the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended September 29, 2018

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]
Derivatives and Hedging	12. Derivatives and Hedging : The Company uses derivative financial instruments to manage our exposures to (1) interest rate fluctuations on our floating rate senior debt and (2) fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. The Company measures those instruments at fair value and recognizes changes in the fair value of derivatives in earnings in the period of change, unless the derivative qualifies as an effective hedge that offsets certain exposures. Interest Rate Swap Agreements On January 8, 2018 , the Company entered into a forward Interest Rate Swap Agreement ("2018 Swap 1") with three -year terms for notional amounts of $90,000 . The forward start date of the 2018 Swap was September 30, 2018 and the termination date is June 30, 2021 . The 2018 Swap 1 has a determined interest rate of 2.3% plus the applicable interest rate margin of 4.0% for an effective rate of 6.3% . On November 8, 2018 , the Company entered into another new forward Interest Rate Swap Agreement ("2018 Swap 2") with three-year terms for $60,000 notional amount. The forward start date of the 2018 Swap 2 was November 30, 2018 and the termination date is November 30, 2022 . The 2018 Swap 2 has an interest rate of 2.1% plus the applicable interest rate margin of 4.0% for an effective rate of 6.1% . The fair value of the 2018 Swaps were $4,201 as of September 28, 2019 . These were reported on the condensed consolidated balance sheet in other non-current liabilities. An increase in other expense was recorded in the statement of comprehensive loss for the unfavorable change of $3,217 in fair value since December 29, 2018 . The fair value of 2018 Swap 1 was $394 as of December 29, 2018 and it was reported on the consolidated balance sheet in other non-current assets. The fair value of 2018 Swap 2 was $1,378 and it was reported on the consolidated balance sheet in other non-current liabilities as of December 29, 2018 . The Company's interest rate swap agreements do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment because they did not meet the provisions specified in ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”). Accordingly, the gain or loss on these derivatives was recognized in current earnings. Foreign Currency Forward Contracts During 2018 and 2019 the Company entered into multiple foreign currency forward contracts. The purpose of the Company's foreign currency forward contracts is to manage the Company's exposure to fluctuations in the exchange rate of the Canadian dollar. The total notional amount of contracts outstanding was C$5,999 and C$5,790 as of September 28, 2019 and December 29, 2018 , respectively. The total fair value of the outstanding foreign currency forward contracts was $5 as of September 28, 2019 and was reported on the condensed consolidated balance sheet in other current assets. The total fair value of the outstanding foreign currency forward contracts was $152 as of December 29, 2018 and was reported on the condensed consolidated balance sheet in other current liabilities. An increase in other expense of $13 , including contracts settled during the thirty-nine weeks ended September 28, 2019 , was recorded in the statement of comprehensive loss for the change in fair value from December 29, 2018 . The Company's foreign currency forward contracts do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment because they did not meet the provisions specified in ASC 815. Accordingly, the gain or loss on these derivatives was recognized in current earnings. The Company does not enter into derivative transactions for speculative purposes and, therefore, holds no derivative instruments for trading purposes. Additional information with respect to the fair value of derivative instruments is included in Note 13 - Fair Value Measurements .

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]
Fair Value Measurements	The Company uses the accounting guidance that applies to all assets and liabilities that are being measured and reported on a fair value basis. The guidance defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The guidance also establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. Assets and liabilities carried at fair value are classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories: Level 1: Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2: Observable market-based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data. Level 3: Unobservable inputs reflecting the reporting entity’s own assumptions. The following tables set forth the Company’s financial assets and liabilities that were measured at fair value on a recurring basis during the period, by level, within the fair value hierarchy: As of September 28, 2019 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Trading securities $ 1,716 $ — $ — $ 1,716 Interest rate swaps — (4,201 ) — (4,201 ) Foreign exchange forward contracts — 5 — 5 Contingent consideration payable — — (18,100 ) (18,100 ) As of December 29, 2018 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Trading securities $ 1,905 $ — $ — $ 1,905 Interest rate swaps — (984 ) — (984 ) Foreign exchange forward contracts — (152 ) — (152 ) Trading securities are valued using quoted prices on an active exchange. Trading securities represent assets held in a Rabbi Trust to fund deferred compensation liabilities and are included as other assets on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Company utilizes interest rate swap contracts to manage our targeted mix of fixed and floating rate debt, and these contracts are valued using observable benchmark rates at commonly quoted intervals for the full term of the swap contracts. As of September 28, 2019 , the 2018 Swap 1 and 2018 Swap 2 were recorded as other non-current liabilities on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. As of December 29, 2018 , 2018 Swap 1 was recorded as a non-current asset and 2018 Swap 2 was recorded as an other non-current liability on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Company utilizes foreign exchange forward contracts to manage our exposure to currency fluctuations in the Canadian dollar versus the U.S. dollar. The forward contracts were valued using observable benchmark rates at commonly quoted intervals during the term of the forward contract. As of September 28, 2019 the foreign exchange forward contracts were included in other current assets on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. As of December 29, 2018 , the foreign exchange forward contracts were included in other current liabilities on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. The contingent consideration represents future potential earn-out payments related to the Resharp acquisition in 2019, see Note 4 - Acquisitions of the Notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements for additional details. The estimated fair value of the contingent earn-out was determined using a Monte Carlo analysis examining the frequency and mean value of the resulting earn-out payments. The resulting value captures the risk associated with the form of the payout structure. The risk neutral method is applied, resulting in a value that captures the risk associated with the form of the payout structure and the projection risk. The carrying amount of the liability may fluctuate significantly and actual amounts paid may be materially different from the estimated value of the liability. As of September 28, 2019 , the contingent consideration was recorded as $2,275 of other current liabilities and $15,825 in other non-current liabilities on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. The fair value of the Company's fixed rate senior notes and junior subordinated debentures as of September 28, 2019 and December 29, 2018 were determined by utilizing current trading prices obtained from indicative market data. As a result, the fair value measurements of the Company's senior term notes and debentures are considered to be Level 2. September 28, 2019 December 29, 2018 Carrying Amount Estimated Fair Value Carrying Amount Estimated Fair Value 6.375% Senior Notes $ 326,944 $ 308,550 $ 326,110 $ 267,300 Junior Subordinated Debentures 125,170 149,827 126,202 130,636 Cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities are reflected in the condensed consolidated financial statements at book value, which approximates fair value, due to the short-term nature of these instruments. The carrying amount of the long-term debt under the revolving credit facility approximates the fair value at September 28, 2019 and December 29, 2018 as the interest rate is variable and approximates current market rates. The Company also believes the carrying amount of the long-term debt under the senior term loan approximates the fair value at September 28, 2019 and December 29, 2018 because, while subject to a minimum LIBOR floor rate, the interest rate approximates current market rates of debt with similar terms and comparable credit risk.

Segment Reporting [Abstract]
Segment Reporting	The Company’s segment reporting structure uses the Company’s management reporting structure as the foundation for how the Company manages its business. The Company periodically evaluates its segment reporting structure in accordance with ASC 350-20-55 and has concluded that it has three reportable segments as of September 28, 2019 : The United States, Canada, and All Other. The United States segment and the Canada segment are considered material by the Company’s management as of September 28, 2019 . The Company's other segments have been combined in the "All Other" category. The Company evaluates the performance of its segments based on revenue and income (loss) from operations, and does not include segment assets nor non-operating income/expense items for management reporting purposes. The table below presents revenues and income (loss) from operations for our reportable segments for the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended September 28, 2019 and thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended September 29, 2018 .

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements	Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses for the reporting periods. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
Revenue Recognition	Revenue Recognition: Revenue is recognized when control of goods or services is transferred to our customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. Sales and other taxes the Company collects concurrent with revenue-producing activities are excluded from revenue. The Company offers a variety of sales incentives to its customers primarily in the form of discounts, rebates, and slotting fees. Discounts are recognized in the consolidated financial statements at the date of the related sale. Rebates are based on the revenue to date and the contractual rebate percentage to be paid. A portion of the cost of the rebate is allocated to each underlying sales transaction. Discounts and rebates are included in the determination of net sales. The Company also establishes reserves for customer returns and allowances. The reserve is established based on historical rates of returns and allowances. The reserve is adjusted quarterly based on actual experience. Returns and allowances are included in the determination of net sales. The following table displays our disaggregated revenue by product category.

Home and access solutions revenues consist primarily of the delivery of keys and key accessories, builders' hardware, wall hanging, threaded rod products, letters, numbers, and signs ("LNS") as well as in-store merchandising services for the related product categories and access to our proprietary key duplicating equipment. Consumer connected solutions revenues consist primarily of sales of keys and identification tags through self-service key duplicating machines and engraving kiosks. Personal protective solutions revenues consist primarily of the delivery of personal protective equipment such as gloves, soft sided tool storage, and eye-wear as well as in-store merchandising services for the related product category. The Company’s performance obligations under its arrangements with customers are providing products, in-store merchandising services, and access to key duplicating and engraving equipment. Generally, the price of the merchandising services and the access to the key duplicating and engraving equipment is included in the price of the related products. Control of products is transferred at the point in time when the customer accepts the goods. Judgment was required in applying the new revenue standard in determining the time at which to recognize revenue for the in-store services and the access to key duplicating and engraving equipment. The Company’s obligation to provide in-store service and access to key duplicating and engraving equipment is satisfied when control of the related products is transferred. Therefore, the entire amount of consideration related to the sale of products, in-store merchandising services, and access to key duplicating and engraving equipment is recognized upon the customer’s acceptance of the products. The revenues for all performance obligations are recognized upon the customer's acceptance of the products. The costs to obtain a contract are insignificant, and generally contract terms do not extend beyond one year. Therefore, these costs are expensed as incurred. Freight and shipping costs and the cost of our in-store merchandising services teams are recognized in selling, general, and administrative expense when control over products is transferred to the customer. The Company used the practical expedient regarding the existence of a significant financing component as payments are due in less than one year after delivery of the products.
Long Lived Assets	Long Lived Assets:
Recent Accounting Pronouncements	In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). Subsequently, in July 2018 the FASB issued ASU 2018-11, Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements and ASU 2018-10, Codification Improvements to Topic 842, Leases . Effective December 30, 2018, the Company adopted the comprehensive new lease standard issued by the FASB. The most significant impact was the recognition of right-of-use ("ROU") assets and liabilities for operating leases and finance leases applicable to lessees. The Company elected to utilize the transition guidance within the new standard which allows the Company to carry forward its historical lease classification(s). Operating and finance lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized based on the present value of future minimum lease payments over the expected lease term at commencement date. As the implicit rate is not determinable in most of the Company’s leases, management uses the Company’s incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of future payments. The Company elected to not separate lease and non-lease components for all classes of underlying assets in which it is the lessee and made an accounting policy election to not account for leases within an initial term of 12 months or less on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. The expected lease terms include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain the Company will exercise such option. Lease expense for minimum lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the expected lease term. As of December 30, 2018 , Company recorded an Operating ROU Asset of $72,785 and a Finance ROU Asset of $672 within our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. Short-term and long-term operating lease liabilities were recorded as $12,040 and $63,291 , respectively. Short-term and long-term finance lease liabilities were determined to be $436 and $477 respectively. The adoption of this guidance did not have an impact on net income. During the thirteen weeks ended September 28, 2019 the Company corrected its method for determining the incremental borrowing rate. This correction resulted in an immaterial correction to the Company’s opening operating lease liability at December 30, 2018 and the interest on lease liabilities in the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended September 28, 2019 . See Note 11 - Leases of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statement for full lease disclosures. In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses . The ASU sets forth a “current expected credit loss” (CECL) model which requires the Company to measure all expected credit losses for financial instruments held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable supportable forecasts. This replaces the existing incurred loss model and is applicable to the measurement of credit losses on financial assets measured at amortized cost and applies to some off-balance sheet credit exposures. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently assessing the impact of the adoption of this ASU on its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
