Accounting Policies [Abstract]	'
Significant Accounting Policies	'
	SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
	Basis of Presentation: The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of SB Holdings and its subsidiaries and are prepared in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”). All intercompany transactions have been eliminated.
	These condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and, in the opinion of the Company, include all adjustments (which are normal and recurring in nature) necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Company at December 29, 2013, the results of operations for the three month periods ended December 29, 2013 and December 30, 2012, the comprehensive income (loss) for the three month periods ended December 29, 2013 and December 30, 2012 and the cash flows for the three month periods ended December 29, 2013 and December 30, 2012. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such SEC rules and regulations. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2013.
	Change in Accounting Principle: During the quarter ended June 30, 2013, the Company made a change in accounting principle to present tax withholdings for share-based payment awards paid to taxing authorities on behalf of an employee as a financing activity within the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows (Unaudited). Such amounts were previously presented within operating activities in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows (Unaudited). The Company believes this change is preferable as the predominant characteristic of the transaction is a financing activity. The Company has reclassified the following amounts within its previously reported Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows (Unaudited) on a retrospective basis to reflect this change in accounting principle:
		Three months ended
		December 30, 2012
	Cash flows from operating activities - Net changes in assets and liabilities:
	As previously reported	$	(221,319	)
	Reclassification of share based award tax withholding payments	17,936
	As reclassified	$	(203,383	)
	Cash flows from financing activities - Share based award tax withholding payments:
	As previously reported	$	—
	Reclassification of share based award tax withholding payments	(17,936		)
	As reclassified	$	(17,936	)
	Use of Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP 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 date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
	Intangible Assets: Intangible assets are recorded at cost or at fair value if acquired in a purchase business combination. Customer relationships and proprietary technology intangibles are amortized, using the straight-line method, over their estimated useful lives. Excess of cost over fair value of net assets acquired (goodwill) and indefinite lived trade name intangibles are not amortized. Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 350: “Intangibles-Goodwill and Other,” requires that goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets be tested for impairment annually, or more often if an event or circumstance indicates that an impairment loss may have been incurred. Goodwill is tested for impairment at the reporting unit level, with such groupings being consistent with the Company’s reportable segments. If an impairment is indicated, a write-down to fair value (normally measured by discounting estimated future cash flows) is recorded. Indefinite lived trade name intangibles are tested for impairment at least annually by comparing the fair value with the carrying value. Any excess of carrying value over fair value is recognized as an impairment loss in income from operations.
	The Company’s annual impairment testing is completed at the August financial period end. Management uses its judgment in assessing whether assets may have become impaired between annual impairment tests. Indicators such as unexpected adverse business conditions, economic factors, unanticipated technological change or competitive activities, loss of key personnel, and acts by governments and courts may signal that an asset has become impaired.
	Shipping and Handling Costs: The Company incurred shipping and handling costs of $64,631 and $49,996 for the three month periods ended December 29, 2013 and December 30, 2012, respectively. These costs are included in Selling expenses in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations (Unaudited). Shipping and handling costs include costs incurred with third-party carriers to transport products to customers as well as salaries and overhead costs related to activities to prepare the Company’s products for shipment from its distribution facilities.
	Concentrations of Credit Risk: Trade receivables subject the Company to credit risk. Trade accounts receivable are carried at net realizable value. The Company extends credit to its customers based upon an evaluation of the customer’s financial condition and credit history, and generally does not require collateral. The Company monitors its customers’ credit and financial condition based on changing economic conditions and makes adjustments to credit policies as required. Provisions for losses on uncollectible trade receivables are determined based on ongoing evaluations of the Company’s receivables, principally on the basis of historical collection experience and evaluations of the risks of nonpayment for a given customer.
	The Company has a broad range of customers including many large retail outlet chains, one of which accounts for a significant percentage of its sales volume. This customer represented approximately 17% and 21% of the Company’s Net sales during the three month periods ended December 29, 2013 and December 30, 2012, respectively. This customer also represented approximately 8% and 11% of the Company’s Trade accounts receivable, net at December 29, 2013 and September 30, 2013, respectively.
	Approximately 46% and 50% of the Company’s Net sales during the three month periods ended December 29, 2013 and December 30, 2012, respectively, occurred outside the U.S. These sales and related receivables are subject to varying degrees of credit, currency, political and economic risk. The Company monitors these risks and makes appropriate provisions for collectibility based on an assessment of the risks present.
	Stock-Based Compensation: The Company measures the cost of its stock-based compensation plans based on the fair value of its employee stock awards and recognizes these costs over the requisite service period of the awards.
	Total stock compensation expense associated with restricted stock units recognized by the Company during the three month periods ended December 29, 2013 and December 30, 2012 was $6,598 and $3,244, respectively.
	The Company granted approximately 414 restricted stock units during the three month period ended December 29, 2013. Of these grants, 81 restricted stock units vested immediately and 45 restricted stock units are time-based and vest over a one year period. The remaining 288 restricted stock units are performance and time-based and vest over a two year period. The total market value of the restricted stock units on the dates of the grants was approximately $28,969.
	The Company granted approximately 574 restricted stock units during the three month period ended December 30, 2012. Of these grants, 22 restricted stock units are time-based and vest over a one year period. Of the remaining 552 restricted stock units, 90 are performance-based and vest over a one year period and 462 are performance and time-based and vest over a two year period. The total market value of the restricted stock units on the dates of the grants was approximately $25,617.
	The fair value of restricted stock units is determined based on the market price of the Company’s shares of common stock on the grant date. A summary of the activity in the Company’s non-vested restricted stock units during the three months ended December 29, 2013 is as follows:
	Restricted Stock Units		Shares		Weighted		Fair Value
					Average		at Grant
					Grant Date		Date
					Fair Value
	Non-vested restricted stock units at September 30, 2013		1,118		$	39.11	$	43,723
	Granted		414		68.95		28,546
	Vested		(904	)	38.93		(35,196		)
	Non-vested restricted stock units at December 29, 2013		628		$	59.03	$	37,073
	Acquisition and Integration Related Charges: Acquisition and integration related charges reflected in Operating expenses in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations (Unaudited) include, but are not limited to, transaction costs such as banking, legal, accounting and other professional fees directly related to acquisitions, termination and related costs for transitional and certain other employees, integration related professional fees and other post business combination expenses associated with mergers and acquisitions.
	The following table summarizes acquisition and integration related charges incurred by the Company during the three month periods ended December 29, 2013 and December 30, 2012:

Comprehensive Income (Loss)	'
	COMPREHENSIVE INCOME (LOSS)
	Comprehensive income (loss) includes foreign currency translation gains and losses on assets and liabilities of foreign subsidiaries, effects of exchange rate changes on intercompany balances of a long-term nature and transactions designated as a hedge of a net investment in a foreign subsidiary, deferred gains and losses on derivative financial instruments designated as cash flow hedges and amortization of deferred gains and losses associated with the Company’s pension plans. The foreign currency translation gains and losses for the three month periods ended December 29, 2013 and December 30, 2012 were primarily attributable to the impact of translation of the net assets of the Company’s European and Latin American operations, which primarily have functional currencies in Euros, Pounds Sterling and Brazilian Real.
	For information pertaining to the reclassification of unrealized gains and losses on derivative instruments, see Note 8, “Derivative Financial Instruments.”

	NET INCOME (LOSS) PER COMMON SHARE
	Net income (loss) per common share of the Company for the three month periods ended December 29, 2013 and December 30, 2012 is calculated based upon the following number of shares:
		Three Months Ended
		December 29, 2013	December 30, 2012
	Basic	52,411	51,758
	Effect of common stock equivalents	256	—

	For the three month period ended December 30, 2012, the Company has not assumed any dilution associated with outstanding common stock equivalents as the impact would be antidilutive due to the loss reported. The dilutive impact of common stock equivalents would have been 658 shares for the three month period ended December 30, 2012, if not for the loss reported.

DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Derivative financial instruments are used by the Company principally in the management of its interest rate, foreign currency exchange rate and raw material price exposures. The Company does not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for trading purposes. Derivative instruments are reported at fair value in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Position (Unaudited). When hedge accounting is elected at inception, the Company formally designates the financial instrument as a hedge of a specific underlying exposure and documents both the risk management objectives and strategies for undertaking the hedge. The Company formally assesses both at the inception and at least quarterly thereafter, whether the financial instruments that are used in hedging transactions are effective at offsetting changes in the forecasted cash flows of the related underlying exposure. Because of the high degree of effectiveness between the hedging instrument and the underlying exposure being hedged, fluctuations in the value of the derivative instruments are generally offset by changes in the forecasted cash flows of the underlying exposures being hedged. Any ineffective portion of a financial instrument’s change in fair value is immediately recognized in earnings. For derivatives that are not designated as cash flow hedges, or do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment, the change in the fair value is also immediately recognized in earnings.

Fair Value of Derivative Instruments

The Company discloses its derivative instruments and hedging activities in accordance with ASC Topic 815: “Derivatives and Hedging” (“ASC 815”).

Changes in AOCI from Derivative Instruments

For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges, the effective portion of the gain or loss on the derivative is reported as a component of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income ("AOCI") and reclassified into earnings in the same period or periods during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. Gains and losses on derivatives representing either hedge ineffectiveness or hedge components excluded from the assessment of effectiveness are recognized in current earnings. See Note 3, "Comprehensive Income (Loss)" for further information.

Credit Risk

The Company is exposed to the risk of default by the counterparties with which it transacts and generally does not require collateral or other security to support financial instruments subject to credit risk. The Company monitors counterparty credit risk on an individual basis by periodically assessing each such counterparty’s credit rating exposure. The maximum loss due to credit risk equals the fair value of the gross asset derivatives that are concentrated with certain domestic and foreign financial institution counterparties. The Company considers these exposures when measuring its credit reserve on its derivative assets, which was $9 and $5 at December 29, 2013 and September 30, 2013, respectively.

The Company’s standard contracts do not contain credit risk related contingent features whereby the Company would be required to post additional cash collateral as a result of a credit event. However, the Company is typically required to post collateral in the normal course of business to offset its liability positions. At both December 29, 2013 and September 30, 2013, the Company had posted cash collateral of $450 related to such liability positions. In addition, at December 29, 2013 and September 30, 2013, the Company had no posted standby letters of credit related to such liability positions. The cash collateral is included in Current Assets—Receivables-Other within the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Position (Unaudited).

Derivative Financial Instruments

Cash Flow Hedges

When appropriate, the Company uses interest rate swaps to manage its interest rate risk. The swaps are designated as cash flow hedges with the changes in fair value recorded in AOCI and as a derivative hedge asset or liability, as applicable. The swaps settle periodically in arrears with the related amounts for the current settlement period payable to, or receivable from, the counter-parties included in accrued liabilities or receivables, respectively, and recognized in earnings as an adjustment to interest expense from the underlying debt to which the swap is designated. At December 29, 2013 and September 30, 2013, the Company did not have any interest rate swaps outstanding.

The Company periodically enters into forward foreign exchange contracts to hedge the risk from forecasted foreign currency denominated third party and intercompany sales or payments. These obligations generally require the Company to exchange foreign currencies for U.S. Dollars, Euros, Pounds Sterling, Australian Dollars, Brazilian Reals, Mexican Pesos, Canadian Dollars or Japanese Yen. These foreign exchange contracts are cash flow hedges of fluctuating foreign exchange related to sales of product or raw material purchases. Until the sale or purchase is recognized, the fair value of the related hedge is recorded in AOCI and as a derivative hedge asset or liability, as applicable. At the time the sale or purchase is recognized, the fair value of the related hedge is reclassified as an adjustment to Net sales or purchase price variance in Cost of goods sold. At December 29, 2013, the Company had a series of foreign exchange derivative contracts outstanding through September 2015 with a contract value of $237,619. The derivative net loss on these contracts recorded in AOCI by the Company at December 29, 2013 was $1,963, net of tax benefit of $466. At December 29, 2013, the portion of derivative net loss estimated to be reclassified from AOCI into earnings by the Company over the next 12 months is $1,777, net of tax.

The Company is exposed to risk from fluctuating prices for raw materials, specifically zinc and brass used in its manufacturing processes. The Company hedges a portion of the risk associated with the purchase of these materials through the use of commodity swaps. The hedge contracts are designated as cash flow hedges with the fair value changes recorded in AOCI and as a hedge asset or liability, as applicable. The unrecognized changes in fair value of the hedge contracts are reclassified from AOCI into earnings when the hedged purchase of raw materials also affects earnings. The swaps effectively fix the floating price on a specified quantity of raw materials through a specified date. At December 29, 2013, the Company had a series of zinc swap contracts outstanding through December 2014 for 9 tons with a contract value of $17,340. At December 29, 2013, the Company had a series of brass swap contracts outstanding through September 2014 for 1 ton with a contract value of $6,078. The derivative net gain on these contracts recorded in AOCI by the Company at December 29, 2013 was $1,197, net of tax expense of $104. At December 29, 2013, the portion of derivative net gain estimated to be reclassified from AOCI into earnings by the Company over the next 12 months is $1,008, net of tax.

Derivative Contracts

The Company periodically enters into forward and swap foreign exchange contracts to economically hedge the risk from third party and intercompany payments resulting from existing obligations. These obligations generally require the Company to exchange foreign currencies for U.S. Dollars, Canadian Dollars, Euros or Australian Dollars. These foreign exchange contracts are fair value hedges of a related liability or asset recorded in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Position (Unaudited). The gain or loss on the derivative hedge contracts is recorded in earnings as an offset to the change in value of the related liability or asset at each period end. At December 29, 2013 and September 30, 2013, the Company had $106,676 and $108,480, respectively, of notional value for such foreign exchange derivative contracts outstanding.

The Company periodically enters into commodity swap contracts to economically hedge the risk from fluctuating prices for raw materials, specifically the pass-through of market prices for silver used in manufacturing purchased watch batteries. The Company hedges a portion of the risk associated with these materials through the use of commodity swaps. The swap contracts are designated as economic hedges with the unrealized gain or loss recorded in earnings and as an asset or liability at each period end. The unrealized changes in fair value of the hedge contracts are adjusted through earnings when the realized gains or losses affect earnings upon settlement of the hedges. The swaps effectively fix the floating price on a specified quantity of silver through a specified date. At December 29, 2013, the Company had a series of such swap contracts outstanding through May 2014 for 30 troy ounces with a contract value of $595. At September 30, 2013, the Company had a series of such swap contracts outstanding through April 2014 for 45 troy ounces with a contract value of $980.

	INCOME TAXES
	The Company's effective tax rates for the three month periods ended December 29, 2013 and December 30, 2012 were 19% and (325)%, respectively. The Company's effective tax rates differ from the United States federal statutory rate of 35% principally due to: (i) losses in the U.S. and certain foreign jurisdictions for which no tax benefit can be recognized due to full valuation allowances that have been provided on the Company's net operating loss carryforward tax benefits and other deferred tax assets; (ii) deferred income tax expense related to the change in book versus tax basis of indefinite lived intangibles, which are amortized for tax purposes but not for book purposes, and (iii) the reversal of U.S. valuation allowances of $45,932 as a result of the HHI Business acquisition during the three months ended December 30, 2012. Additionally, in the three months ended December 29, 2013 the pretax consolidated income was close to break even, resulting in a higher effective tax rate.
	During the three months ended December 29, 2013, the Company estimated and recorded a one-time reduction of $178,716 to its US net operating loss carryforwards from actual and deemed repatriation of foreign earnings resulting from internal restructuring and external debt refinancing activities. Due to full valuation allowances on the Company’s US net operating loss carryforwards, there was no material effect on the Company’s quarterly or projected annual income tax expense.
	The Company recognizes in its condensed consolidated financial statements the impact of a tax position if it concludes that the position is more likely than not sustainable upon audit, based on the technical merits of the position. At December 29, 2013 and September 30, 2013, the Company had $13,267 and $13,807, respectively, of unrecognized tax benefits related to uncertain tax positions. The Company also had approximately $3,630 and $3,671, respectively, of accrued interest and penalties related to the uncertain tax positions at those dates. Interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions are reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements as part of income tax expense.
	As of December 29, 2013, certain of the Company's legal entities in various jurisdictions are undergoing income tax audits. The Company cannot predict the ultimate outcome of the examinations; however, it is reasonably possible that during the next 12 months some portion of previously unrecognized tax benefits could be recognized.

	SEGMENT RESULTS
	The Company manages its business in four vertically integrated, product-focused reporting segments: (i) Global Batteries & Appliances; (ii) Global Pet Supplies; (iii) Home and Garden; and (iv) Hardware & Home Improvement.
	The results of the HHI Business operations, excluding certain assets of Tong Lung Metal Industry Co. Ltd., a Taiwan Corporation (the "TLM Business"), which was acquired on April 8, 2013, are included in the Company's Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations (Unaudited) since December 17, 2012. The results of the TLM Business operations are included in the Company's Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations (Unaudited) since April 8, 2013. The financial results related to the HHI Business are reported as a separate business segment, Hardware & Home Improvement.
	Global strategic initiatives and financial objectives for each reportable segment are determined at the corporate level. Each reportable segment is responsible for implementing defined strategic initiatives and achieving certain financial objectives and has a general manager responsible for the sales and marketing initiatives and financial results for product lines within that segment.
	Net sales and Cost of goods sold from transactions with other business segments have been eliminated. The gross contribution of intersegment sales is included in the segment selling the product to the external customer. Segment net sales are based upon the segment from which the product is shipped.
	The operating segment profits do not include restructuring and related charges, acquisition and integration related charges, interest expense, interest income and income tax expense. Corporate expenses primarily include general and administrative expenses and global long-term incentive compensation plan costs which are evaluated on a consolidated basis and not allocated to the Company’s operating segments. All depreciation and amortization included in income from operations is related to operating segments or corporate expense. Costs are identified to operating segments or corporate expense according to the function of each cost center.
	All capital expenditures are related to operating segments. Variable allocations of assets are not made for segment reporting.

Description of New Accounting Pronouncements Not yet Adopted [Text Block]	'
	NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
	Presentation of Comprehensive Income
	In June 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued new accounting guidance which requires entities to present net income and other comprehensive income in either a single continuous statement or in two separate, but consecutive, statements of net income and other comprehensive income. The guidance requiring disclosure of the income statement location where gains and losses reclassified out of comprehensive income are included was deferred in December 2011. In November 2012, the FASB clarified its position on the reclassification disclosures, allowing disclosure of reclassification adjustments on the face of the comprehensive income statement or in the notes to the financial statements. The accounting guidance requiring a comprehensive income statement is now effective for the Company. The Company has implemented all required disclosures.
	Presentation of Unrecognized Tax Benefit
	In July 2013, the FASB issued new accounting guidance which requires entities to present unrecognized tax benefits as a reduction of a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward, except to the extent the net operating loss carryforwards or tax credit carryforwards are not available to be used at the reporting date to settle additional income taxes, and the entity does not intend to use them for this purpose. The new accounting guidance is consistent with how the Company has historically presented unrecognized tax benefits in its Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Position (Unaudited), and therefore, the Company does not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements.

	ASC 855, “Subsequent Events,” (“ASC 855”), establishes general standards of accounting and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. ASC 855 requires the Company to evaluate events that occur after the balance sheet date through the date the Company's financial statements are issued, and to determine whether adjustments to or additional disclosures in the financial statements are necessary. The Company has evaluated subsequent events through the date these financial statements were issued.
	On January 2, 2014, the Company completed the $34,300 cash acquisition of Liquid Fence Company, Inc. ("Liquid Fence"), a producer of animal repellents. The Company will account for the acquisition of Liquid Fence in accordance with ASC 805. The Company is in the process of completing the preliminary purchase accounting.

Concentration Risk Disclosure [Text Block]	'Approximately 46% and 50% of the Company’s Net sales during the three month periods ended December 29, 2013 and December 30, 2012, respectively, occurred outside the U.S. These sales and related receivables are subject to varying degrees of credit, currency, political and economic risk. The Company monitors these risks and makes appropriate provisions for collectibility based on an assessment of the risks present.
Acquisition and Related Charges Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	Acquisition and Integration Related Charges: Acquisition and integration related charges reflected in Operating expenses in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations (Unaudited) include, but are not limited to, transaction costs such as banking, legal, accounting and other professional fees directly related to acquisitions, termination and related costs for transitional and certain other employees, integration related professional fees and other post business combination expenses associated with mergers and acquisitions.
Organization, Consolidation, Basis of Presentation, Business Description and Accounting Policies [Text Block]	'
	Basis of Presentation: The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of SB Holdings and its subsidiaries and are prepared in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”). All intercompany transactions have been eliminated.
New Accounting Pronouncements and Changes in Accounting Principles [Text Block]	'
	Change in Accounting Principle: During the quarter ended June 30, 2013, the Company made a change in accounting principle to present tax withholdings for share-based payment awards paid to taxing authorities on behalf of an employee as a financing activity within the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows (Unaudited). Such amounts were previously presented within operating activities in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows (Unaudited). The Company believes this change is preferable as the predominant characteristic of the transaction is a financing activity.
Use of Estimates, Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	Use of Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP 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 date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Goodwill and Intangible Assets, Intangible Assets, Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	Intangible Assets: Intangible assets are recorded at cost or at fair value if acquired in a purchase business combination. Customer relationships and proprietary technology intangibles are amortized, using the straight-line method, over their estimated useful lives. Excess of cost over fair value of net assets acquired (goodwill) and indefinite lived trade name intangibles are not amortized. Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 350: “Intangibles-Goodwill and Other,” requires that goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets be tested for impairment annually, or more often if an event or circumstance indicates that an impairment loss may have been incurred. Goodwill is tested for impairment at the reporting unit level, with such groupings being consistent with the Company’s reportable segments. If an impairment is indicated, a write-down to fair value (normally measured by discounting estimated future cash flows) is recorded. Indefinite lived trade name intangibles are tested for impairment at least annually by comparing the fair value with the carrying value. Any excess of carrying value over fair value is recognized as an impairment loss in income from operations.
	The Company’s annual impairment testing is completed at the August financial period end. Management uses its judgment in assessing whether assets may have become impaired between annual impairment tests. Indicators such as unexpected adverse business conditions, economic factors, unanticipated technological change or competitive activities, loss of key personnel, and acts by governments and courts may signal that an asset has become impaired.
Shipping and Handling Cost, Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	Shipping and Handling Costs: The Company incurred shipping and handling costs of $64,631 and $49,996 for the three month periods ended December 29, 2013 and December 30, 2012, respectively. These costs are included in Selling expenses in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations (Unaudited). Shipping and handling costs include costs incurred with third-party carriers to transport products to customers as well as salaries and overhead costs related to activities to prepare the Company’s products for shipment from its distribution facilities.
Receivables, Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	Concentrations of Credit Risk: Trade receivables subject the Company to credit risk. Trade accounts receivable are carried at net realizable value. The Company extends credit to its customers based upon an evaluation of the customer’s financial condition and credit history, and generally does not require collateral. The Company monitors its customers’ credit and financial condition based on changing economic conditions and makes adjustments to credit policies as required. Provisions for losses on uncollectible trade receivables are determined based on ongoing evaluations of the Company’s receivables, principally on the basis of historical collection experience and evaluations of the risks of nonpayment for a given customer.
Share-based Compensation, Option and Incentive Plans Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	Stock-Based Compensation: The Company measures the cost of its stock-based compensation plans based on the fair value of its employee stock awards and recognizes these costs over the requisite service period of the awards.
	Total stock compensation expense associated with restricted stock units recognized by the Company during the three month periods ended December 29, 2013 and December 30, 2012 was $6,598 and $3,244, respectively.
	The Company granted approximately 414 restricted stock units during the three month period ended December 29, 2013. Of these grants, 81 restricted stock units vested immediately and 45 restricted stock units are time-based and vest over a one year period. The remaining 288 restricted stock units are performance and time-based and vest over a two year period. The total market value of the restricted stock units on the dates of the grants was approximately $28,969.
	The Company granted approximately 574 restricted stock units during the three month period ended December 30, 2012. Of these grants, 22 restricted stock units are time-based and vest over a one year period. Of the remaining 552 restricted stock units, 90 are performance-based and vest over a one year period and 462 are performance and time-based and vest over a two year period. The total market value of the restricted stock units on the dates of the grants was approximately $25,617.
	The fair value of restricted stock units is determined based on the market price of the Company’s shares of common stock on the grant date.
Concentration Risk, Customer	'The Company has a broad range of customers including many large retail outlet chains, one of which accounts for a significant percentage of its sales volume. This customer represented approximately 17% and 21% of the Company’s Net sales during the three month periods ended December 29, 2013 and December 30, 2012, respectively. This customer also represented approximately 8% and 11% of the Company’s Trade accounts receivable, net at December 29, 2013 and September 30, 2013, respectively.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]	'
Derivatives, Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
	Derivative financial instruments are used by the Company principally in the management of its interest rate, foreign currency exchange rate and raw material price exposures. The Company does not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for trading purposes. Derivative instruments are reported at fair value in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Position (Unaudited). When hedge accounting is elected at inception, the Company formally designates the financial instrument as a hedge of a specific underlying exposure and documents both the risk management objectives and strategies for undertaking the hedge. The Company formally assesses both at the inception and at least quarterly thereafter, whether the financial instruments that are used in hedging transactions are effective at offsetting changes in the forecasted cash flows of the related underlying exposure. Because of the high degree of effectiveness between the hedging instrument and the underlying exposure being hedged, fluctuations in the value of the derivative instruments are generally offset by changes in the forecasted cash flows of the underlying exposures being hedged. Any ineffective portion of a financial instrument’s change in fair value is immediately recognized in earnings. For derivatives that are not designated as cash flow hedges, or do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment, the change in the fair value is also immediately recognized in earnings.
	Changes in AOCI from Derivative Instruments
	For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges, the effective portion of the gain or loss on the derivative is reported as a component of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income ("AOCI") and reclassified into earnings in the same period or periods during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. Gains and losses on derivatives representing either hedge ineffectiveness or hedge components excluded from the assessment of effectiveness are recognized in current earnings.
	Other Changes in Fair Value of Derivative Contracts
	For derivative instruments that are used to economically hedge the fair value of the Company’s third party and intercompany foreign currency payments, commodity purchases and interest rate payments, the gain (loss) associated with the derivative contract is recognized in earnings in the period of change.
	Cash Flow Hedges
	When appropriate, the Company uses interest rate swaps to manage its interest rate risk. The swaps are designated as cash flow hedges with the changes in fair value recorded in AOCI and as a derivative hedge asset or liability, as applicable. The swaps settle periodically in arrears with the related amounts for the current settlement period payable to, or receivable from, the counter-parties included in accrued liabilities or receivables, respectively, and recognized in earnings as an adjustment to interest expense from the underlying debt to which the swap is designated. At December 29, 2013 and September 30, 2013, the Company did not have any interest rate swaps outstanding.
	The Company periodically enters into forward foreign exchange contracts to hedge the risk from forecasted foreign currency denominated third party and intercompany sales or payments. These obligations generally require the Company to exchange foreign currencies for U.S. Dollars, Euros, Pounds Sterling, Australian Dollars, Brazilian Reals, Mexican Pesos, Canadian Dollars or Japanese Yen. These foreign exchange contracts are cash flow hedges of fluctuating foreign exchange related to sales of product or raw material purchases. Until the sale or purchase is recognized, the fair value of the related hedge is recorded in AOCI and as a derivative hedge asset or liability, as applicable. At the time the sale or purchase is recognized, the fair value of the related hedge is reclassified as an adjustment to Net sales or purchase price variance in Cost of goods sold. At December 29, 2013, the Company had a series of foreign exchange derivative contracts outstanding through September 2015 with a contract value of $237,619. The derivative net loss on these contracts recorded in AOCI by the Company at December 29, 2013 was $1,963, net of tax benefit of $466. At December 29, 2013, the portion of derivative net loss estimated to be reclassified from AOCI into earnings by the Company over the next 12 months is $1,777, net of tax.
	The Company is exposed to risk from fluctuating prices for raw materials, specifically zinc and brass used in its manufacturing processes. The Company hedges a portion of the risk associated with the purchase of these materials through the use of commodity swaps. The hedge contracts are designated as cash flow hedges with the fair value changes recorded in AOCI and as a hedge asset or liability, as applicable. The unrecognized changes in fair value of the hedge contracts are reclassified from AOCI into earnings when the hedged purchase of raw materials also affects earnings. The swaps effectively fix the floating price on a specified quantity of raw materials through a specified date. At December 29, 2013, the Company had a series of zinc swap contracts outstanding through December 2014 for 9 tons with a contract value of $17,340. At December 29, 2013, the Company had a series of brass swap contracts outstanding through September 2014 for 1 ton with a contract value of $6,078. The derivative net gain on these contracts recorded in AOCI by the Company at December 29, 2013 was $1,197, net of tax expense of $104. At December 29, 2013, the portion of derivative net gain estimated to be reclassified from AOCI into earnings by the Company over the next 12 months is $1,008, net of tax.
	Derivative Contracts
	The Company periodically enters into forward and swap foreign exchange contracts to economically hedge the risk from third party and intercompany payments resulting from existing obligations. These obligations generally require the Company to exchange foreign currencies for U.S. Dollars, Canadian Dollars, Euros or Australian Dollars. These foreign exchange contracts are fair value hedges of a related liability or asset recorded in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Position (Unaudited). The gain or loss on the derivative hedge contracts is recorded in earnings as an offset to the change in value of the related liability or asset at each period end. At December 29, 2013 and September 30, 2013, the Company had $106,676 and $108,480, respectively, of notional value for such foreign exchange derivative contracts outstanding.
