Significant Accounting Policies [Abstract]	'
Significant Accounting Policies	'
	2    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 June 29, 2014, the results of operations for the three and nine month periods ended June 29, 2014 and June 30, 2013, the comprehensive income (loss) for the three and nine month periods ended June 29, 2014 and June 30, 2013 and the cash flows for the nine month periods ended June 29, 2014 and June 30, 2013. Certain information and note 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.
	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 $66,195 and $194,530 for the three and nine month periods ended June 29, 2014, respectively, and $67,023 and $183,050 for the three and nine month periods ended June 30, 2013, 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, two of which account for a significant percentage of its sales volume. The first customer represented approximately 15%  and 16% of the Company’s Net sales during the three and nine month periods ended June 29, 2014, and 17% and 18% of the Company’s Net sales during the three and nine month periods ended June 30, 2013, respectively. The second customer represented approximately 10% and 9% of the Company’s Net sales during the three and nine month periods ended June 29, 2014, and 10% and 7% of the Company’s Net sales during the three and nine month periods ended June 30, 2013, respectively. The first customer represented approximately 11% of the Company’s Trade accounts receivable, net at both June 29, 2014 and September 30, 2013, respectively.  The second customer represented 15% and 14% of the Company’s Trade accounts receivable, net at June 29, 2014 and September 30, 2013, respectively.
	Approximately 37% and 41% of the Company’s Net sales during the three and nine month periods ended June 29, 2014, respectively, and 37% and 41% of the Company’s Net sales during the three and nine month periods ended June 30, 2013, 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 collectability 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 and nine month periods ended June 29, 2014 was $9,236 and $26,013, respectively. Total stock compensation expense associated with restricted stock units recognized by the Company during the three and nine month periods ended June 30, 2013 was $17,673 and $31,830, respectively.
	The Company granted approximately 6 and 415 restricted stock units during the three and nine month periods ended June 29, 2014, respectively. The 415 restricted stock units granted during the nine months ended June 29, 2014 include 81 restricted stock units that vested immediately and 41 time-based restricted stock units that vest over a one year period. The remaining 293 restricted stock units are performance and time-based that vest over a two year period. The total market value of the restricted stock units on the dates of the grants was approximately $28,744.
	The Company granted approximately 30 and 644 restricted stock units during the three and nine month periods ended June 30, 2013, respectively. The 644 restricted stock units granted during the nine months ended June 30, 2013 include 90 time-based restricted stock units that vest over a one year period and 554 restricted stock units are performance and time-based that vest over a two year period. The total market value of the restricted stock units on the dates of the grants was approximately $ 29,319.
	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 nine months ended June 29, 2014 is as follows:
				Weighted
				Average			Fair Value
				Grant Date			at Grant
	Restricted Stock Units	Shares		Fair Value			Date

Comprehensive Income (Loss)	'
	3    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 and nine month periods ended June 29, 2014 and June 30, 2013 were principally 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.”
	The components of Other comprehensive income (loss), net of tax, for the three and nine month periods ended June 29, 2014 and June 30, 2013 are as follows:

7    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 recognized in earnings in the period incurred. 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 recognized in earnings in the period incurred.

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”).

The fair value of the Company’s outstanding derivative contracts recorded as assets in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Position (Unaudited) are as follows:

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 $3 and $5 at June 29, 2014 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 June 29, 2014 and September 30, 2013, the Company had posted cash collateral of $0 and $450, respectively, related to such liability positions. In addition, at June 29, 2014 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

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 June 29, 2014, the Company had a series of U.S. dollar denominated interest rate swaps outstanding which effectively fix the interest on floating rate debt, exclusive of lender spreads, at 1.36% for a notional principal amount of $300,000 through April 2017.  At September 30, 2013, the Company did not have any interest rate swaps outstanding.  The derivative net loss on these contracts recorded in AOCI by the Company at June 29, 2014 was $1,473, net of tax benefit of $0. At June 29, 2014, the portion of derivative net losses estimated to be reclassified from AOCI into earnings by the Company over the next 12 months is $1,416, net of tax.

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 June 29, 2014, the Company had a series of foreign exchange derivative contracts outstanding through September 2015 with a contract value of $221,513. The derivative net loss on these contracts recorded in AOCI by the Company at June 29, 2014 was $3,524, net of tax benefit of $1,029. At June 29, 2014, the portion of derivative net loss estimated to be reclassified from AOCI into earnings by the Company over the next 12 months is $3,331, 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 June 29, 2014, the Company had a series of zinc swap contracts outstanding through June 2015 for 5 tons with a contract value of $9,851.  At June 29, 2014, the Company had a series of brass swap contracts outstanding through June 2015 for 1 ton with a contract value of $3,853.  The derivative net gain on these contracts recorded in AOCI by the Company at June 29, 2014 was $1,154, net of tax expense of $149. At June 29, 2014, the portion of derivative net gain estimated to be reclassified from AOCI into earnings by the Company over the next 12 months is $1,154, 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 June 29, 2014 and September 30, 2013, the Company had $154,263 and $108,480, respectively, of notional value of 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 unrecognized 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 June 29, 2014, the Company had a series of such swap contracts outstanding through September 2015 for 35 troy ounces with a contract value of $741. 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	'
	10    INCOME TAXES
	The Company's effective tax rate for both the three and nine month periods ended June 29, 2014 was 21%. The Company's effective tax rates for the three and nine month periods ended June 30, 2013 were 29% and 125%, respectively. For the three and nine month periods ended June 29, 2014, the Company's effective tax rate differs from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 35% principally due to income earned outside the U.S. that is subject to statutory rates lower than 35%.  Additionally, for the nine month period ended June 29, 2014, our effective tax rate differs from the U.S. federal statutory rate due to a tax benefit recognized as a result of a Mexican tax law change.  For both the three and nine month periods ended June 30, 2013, the Company's effective tax rate differs from the U.S. statutory rate 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 (ii) other deferred tax assets and 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. Additionally, for the nine month period ended June 30, 2013, the Company’s effective tax rate is higher than the U.S. statutory rate due to the reversal of U.S. valuation allowances of $49,291 as a result of the HHI Business acquisition, coupled with the fact that pretax consolidated income was close to break even, resulting in a higher effective tax rate.
	During the nine month period ended June 29, 2014, the Company recorded a one-time reduction of $178,716 to its U.S. net operating loss carryforwards from actual and deemed repatriation of foreign earnings resulting from internal restructuring and external debt refinancing activities. The Company has a full valuation allowance on its U.S. net operating loss carryforwards; therefore there was no material impact on the Company’s quarterly or projected annual income tax expense.
	The Company records 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 June 29, 2014 and September 30, 2013, the Company had $13,004 and $13,807, respectively, of unrecognized tax benefits related to uncertain tax positions. The Company also had approximately $3,706 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 as Income tax expense.
	As of June 29, 2014, 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.

	On February 8, 2013, the Venezuelan government announced the formal devaluation of its currency, the Bolivar fuerte, relative to the U.S. dollar. As Venezuela continues to be considered a highly inflationary economy, the functional currency of the Company's Venezuelan subsidiary is the U.S. dollar. Therefore, the Company remeasured the local statement of financial position of its Venezuela entity as of February 8, 2013 to reflect the impact of the devaluation to the official exchange rate from 4.3 to 6.3 Bolivar fuerte per U.S. dollar. The effect of the devaluation of the Bolivar fuerte was recorded in other expense, net and resulted in a $1,953 reduction to the Company's pretax income during the three and nine month periods ended June 30, 2013.

	Global Cost Reduction Initiatives Summary
	During the fiscal year ended September 30, 2009, the Company implemented a series of initiatives within the Global Batteries & Appliances segment, the Global Pet Supplies segment and the Home and Garden segment to reduce operating costs, and to evaluate opportunities to improve the Company’s capital structure (the “Global Cost Reduction Initiatives”). These initiatives included headcount reductions and the exit of certain facilities within each of these segments. These initiatives also included consultation, legal and accounting fees related to the evaluation of the Company’s capital structure. Costs associated with these initiatives, which are expected to be incurred through January 31, 2015, are currently projected to approximate $103,000.

	14    ACQUISITIONS
	In accordance with ASC Topic 805, “Business Combinations” (“ASC 805”), the Company accounts for acquisitions by applying the acquisition method of accounting. The acquisition method of accounting requires, among other things, that the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination be measured at their fair values as of the closing date of the acquisition.
	HHI Business
	On December 17, 2012, the Company completed the cash acquisition of the HHI Business from Stanley Black & Decker. A portion of the HHI Business, consisting of the purchase of the TLM Business, closed on April 8, 2013.

	Liquid Fence
	On January 2, 2014, the Company completed the acquisition of Liquid Fence, a producer of animal repellents. The preliminary value of the consideration given in this acquisition net, of working capital adjustments, was $35,845 and is not significant individually.
	The following table summarizes the consideration paid for Liquid Fence:
	Cash paid to seller at close		$	24,800
	Promissory note due to seller			9,500
	Contingent consideration			1,500
	Preliminary working capital adjustment			45
	Preliminary purchase price		$	35,845
	The promissory note will be paid in four semi-annual installments over 24 months from the close of the transaction.
	The results of Liquid Fence's operations since January 2, 2014 are included in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations (Unaudited) and are reported as part of the Home and Garden segment.
	Preliminary Valuation of Assets and Liabilities
	The assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the Liquid Fence acquisition have been measured at their fair values at January 2, 2014 as set forth below. The excess of the purchase price over the fair values of the net tangible assets and identifiable intangible assets was recorded as goodwill, which includes value associated with the assembled workforce including an experienced research team, and is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes. The preliminary fair values recorded were determined based upon a valuation and the estimates and assumptions used in such valuation are subject to change, which could be significant, within the measurement period (up to one year from the acquisition date). The primary areas of acquisition accounting that are not yet finalized relate to amounts for intangible assets, contingent liabilities and residual goodwill.
	The preliminary fair values recorded for the assets acquired and liabilities assumed for Liquid Fence are as follows:
	Cash		$	46
	Accounts receivable			1,152
	Inventories			2,188
	Property, plant and equipment, net			59
	Intangible assets			26,900
	Total assets acquired		$	30,345
	Total liabilities assumed			1,588
	Total identifiable net assets less goodwill			28,757
	Goodwill			7,088
	Total identifiable net assets		$	35,845
	Preliminary Pre-Acquisition Contingencies Assumed
	The Company has evaluated and continues to evaluate pre-acquisition contingencies relating to Liquid Fence that existed as of the acquisition date. Based on the evaluation to date, the Company has preliminarily determined that certain pre-acquisition contingencies are probable in nature and estimable as of the acquisition date. Accordingly, the Company has preliminarily recorded its best estimates for these contingencies as part of the preliminary purchase accounting for Liquid Fence. The Company continues to gather information relating to all pre-acquisition contingencies that it has assumed from Liquid Fence. Any changes to the pre-acquisition contingency amounts recorded during the measurement period will be included in the final valuation and related amounts recognized. Subsequent to the end of the measurement period, any adjustments to pre-acquisition contingency amounts will be reflected in the Company's results of operations.
	Preliminary Valuation Adjustments
	The Company performed a preliminary valuation of the acquired trade names, proprietary technology assets, customer relationships and a contingent earn-out liability at January 2, 2014. A summary of the significant key inputs is as follows:
		·		The Company valued the technology assets related to formulas and processes using the income approach, specifically the excess earnings method. Under this method, the asset value was determined by estimating the earnings attributable to the technology assets, adjusted for contributory asset charges. In estimating the fair value of the technology, Net sales and associated earnings were forecasted and adjusted for a technical obsolescence factor to isolate the forecasted sales and earnings attributable to the acquired technology assets. The forecasted technology earnings were discounted to present value to arrive at the concluded fair value. The Company anticipates using the technology asset over a useful life of 17 years which is generally determined by assessing the time period in which substantially all of the discounted cash flows are expected to be generated. The technology asset was valued at approximately $20,500 under this approach.
		·		The Company valued an indefinite-lived trade name using the income approach, specifically the relief from royalty method. Under this method, the asset value was determined by estimating the hypothetical royalties that would have to be paid if the trade name was not owned. Royalty rates were selected based on consideration of several factors, including prior transactions of Liquid Fence, related trademarks and trade names, other similar trademark licensing and transaction agreements and the relative profitability and perceived contribution of the trademarks and trade names. Trade name and trademarks were valued at $5,100 under this approach.
		·		The Company valued customer relationships using the distributor approach. Under this method, the asset value was determined by estimating the hypothetical earnings before interest and taxes ("EBIT") that a comparable distributor would earn, further adjusted for contributory asset charges. In determining the fair value of the customer relationships, the distributor approach values the intangible asset at the present value of the incremental after-tax cash flows. The customer relationships were valued at $1,300 under this approach and will be amortized over 15 years.
		·		The Company valued a contingent liability related to additional payments that may be made to the selling company. This liability was calculated based on the probability weighted present value of expected payments. This contingent liability is based on the achievement of specific revenue milestones through both January 31, 2015 and January 31, 2016. The contingent liability was valued at $1,500 under this approach.

New Accounting Pronouncements and Changes in Accounting Principles	'
	15    NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
	Revenue recognition
	In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), which supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in ASC 605, Revenue Recognition.  This ASU requires revenue recognition to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services.  The new revenue recognition model requires identifying the contract, identifying the performance obligations, determining the transaction price, allocating the transaction price to performance obligations and recognizing the revenue upon satisfaction of performance obligations.  This ASU also requires additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and changes in judgments, and assets recognized from costs incurred to obtain or fulfill a contract.  This ASU can be applied either retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented or retrospectively with the cumulative effect of initially applying the update recognized at the date of the initial application along with additional disclosures.  This ASU will become effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of its fiscal year ending September 30, 2018.  The Company has not selected a method for adoption nor determined the potential effects on our consolidated financial statements.
	Presentation of Unrecognized Tax Benefit
	In July 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board 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 Consolidated Statements of Financial Position, and therefore, the Company does not expect this guidance to have a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements.

Significant Accounting Policies [Abstract]	'
Use Of Estimates	'
	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: 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	'
	Shipping and Handling Costs: The Company incurred shipping and handling costs of $66,195 and $194,530 for the three and nine month periods ended June 29, 2014, respectively, and $67,023 and $183,050 for the three and nine month periods ended June 30, 2013, 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.
Concentration Of Credit Risk	'
	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, two of which account for a significant percentage of its sales volume. The first customer represented approximately 15%  and 16% of the Company’s Net sales during the three and nine month periods ended June 29, 2014, and 17% and 18% of the Company’s Net sales during the three and nine month periods ended June 30, 2013, respectively. The second customer represented approximately 10% and 9% of the Company’s Net sales during the three and nine month periods ended June 29, 2014, and 10% and 7% of the Company’s Net sales during the three and nine month periods ended June 30, 2013, respectively. The first customer represented approximately 11% of the Company’s Trade accounts receivable, net at both June 29, 2014 and September 30, 2013, respectively.  The second customer represented 15% and 14% of the Company’s Trade accounts receivable, net at June 29, 2014 and September 30, 2013, respectively.
	Approximately 37% and 41% of the Company’s Net sales during the three and nine month periods ended June 29, 2014, respectively, and 37% and 41% of the Company’s Net sales during the three and nine month periods ended June 30, 2013, 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 collectability based on an assessment of the risks present.
Stock-Based Compensation	'
	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 and nine month periods ended June 29, 2014 was $9,236 and $26,013, respectively. Total stock compensation expense associated with restricted stock units recognized by the Company during the three and nine month periods ended June 30, 2013 was $17,673 and $31,830, respectively.
	The Company granted approximately 6 and 415 restricted stock units during the three and nine month periods ended June 29, 2014, respectively. The 415 restricted stock units granted during the nine months ended June 29, 2014 include 81 restricted stock units that vested immediately and 41 time-based restricted stock units that vest over a one year period. The remaining 293 restricted stock units are performance and time-based that vest over a two year period. The total market value of the restricted stock units on the dates of the grants was approximately $28,744.

Derivative Financial Instruments [Abstract]	'
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 recognized in earnings in the period incurred. 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 recognized in earnings in the period incurred.
	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.
	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, but are not designated as hedging instruments under ASC 815, the gain (loss) associated with the derivative contract is recognized in earnings in the period of change.
	Cash Flow Hedges
	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 June 29, 2014, the Company had a series of U.S. dollar denominated interest rate swaps outstanding which effectively fix the interest on floating rate debt, exclusive of lender spreads, at 1.36% for a notional principal amount of $300,000 through April 2017.  At September 30, 2013, the Company did not have any interest rate swaps outstanding.  The derivative net loss on these contracts recorded in AOCI by the Company at June 29, 2014 was $1,473, net of tax benefit of $0. At June 29, 2014, the portion of derivative net losses estimated to be reclassified from AOCI into earnings by the Company over the next 12 months is $1,416, net of tax.
	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 June 29, 2014, the Company had a series of foreign exchange derivative contracts outstanding through September 2015 with a contract value of $221,513. The derivative net loss on these contracts recorded in AOCI by the Company at June 29, 2014 was $3,524, net of tax benefit of $1,029. At June 29, 2014, the portion of derivative net loss estimated to be reclassified from AOCI into earnings by the Company over the next 12 months is $3,331, 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 June 29, 2014, the Company had a series of zinc swap contracts outstanding through June 2015 for 5 tons with a contract value of $9,851.  At June 29, 2014, the Company had a series of brass swap contracts outstanding through June 2015 for 1 ton with a contract value of $3,853.  The derivative net gain on these contracts recorded in AOCI by the Company at June 29, 2014 was $1,154, net of tax expense of $149. At June 29, 2014, the portion of derivative net gain estimated to be reclassified from AOCI into earnings by the Company over the next 12 months is $1,154, 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 June 29, 2014 and September 30, 2013, the Company had $154,263 and $108,480, respectively, of notional value of 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 unrecognized 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 June 29, 2014, the Company had a series of such swap contracts outstanding through September 2015 for 35 troy ounces with a contract value of $741. 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.
