	Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
	The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Lawson Products, Inc. (the “Company”) have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information, the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not contain all disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles. Reference should be made to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013. In the opinion of the Company, all normal recurring adjustments have been made that are necessary to present fairly the results of operations for the interim periods. Operating results for the three month period ended September 30, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2014.
	Following the sale of substantially all of the assets of Automatic Screw Machine Products Company, Inc. (“ASMP”) (See Note 9 - Discontinued Operations), the Company operates in one reportable segment; the Maintenance, Repair and Operations ("MRO") segment as a distributor of products and services to the industrial, commercial, institutional, and governmental maintenance, repair and operations marketplace. Certain reclassifications have been made to the condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 to conform to current period presentation. Such reclassifications had no effect on net income as previously reported.
	The effect of restricted stock awards, market stock units and future stock option exercises equivalent to approximately 129,000 and 52,000 shares for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, would have been anti-dilutive and therefore were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share.
	There have been no material changes in the Company's significant accounting policies during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 as compared to the significant accounting policies described in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013. The Company has determined that there were no subsequent events to recognize or disclose in these condensed consolidated financial statements.
	In May 2014, Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (ASU 2014-09), which supersedes nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance under U.S. GAAP. The core principle of ASU 2014-09 is to recognize revenues when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 defines a five step process to achieve this core principle and, in doing so, more judgment and estimates may be required within the revenue recognition process than are required under existing U.S. GAAP. This pronouncement is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that reporting period and is to be applied using one of two retrospective application methods, with early application not permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the pending adoption of ASU 2014-09 on the consolidated financial statements and has not yet determined the method by which the standard will be adopted in 2017.

Debt Disclosure [Abstract]	'
Loan Agreement	'
	In 2012, the Company entered into a Loan and Security Agreement (“Loan Agreement”) which expires in August 2017. Due to the lock box arrangement and a subjective acceleration clause contained in the borrowing agreement, the revolving line of credit is classified as a current liability. The Loan Agreement consists of a $40.0 million revolving line of credit facility, which includes a $10.0 million sub-facility for letters of credit. In December 2013, the Company entered into a Second Amendment to Loan and Security Agreement ("Second Amendment") which revised certain terms of the original Loan Agreement.
	Credit available under the Loan Agreement is based upon:
	a)	80% of the face amount of the Company’s eligible accounts receivable, generally less than 60 days past due, and
	b)	the lesser of 50% of the lower of cost or market value of the Company’s eligible inventory, generally inventory expected to be sold within 18 months, or $20.0 million.
	The applicable interest rates for borrowings are at the Prime rate or, if the Company elects, the LIBOR rate plus 1.50% to 1.85% based on the Company’s debt to EBITDA ratio. The Loan Agreement is secured by a first priority perfected security interest in substantially all existing assets of the Company. Dividends are restricted to amounts not to exceed $7.0 million annually.
	At September 30, 2014, the Company had no debt outstanding under its revolving line of credit facility and $1.6 million outstanding letters of credit, leaving additional borrowing availability of $33.1 million. The Company paid interest of $0.7 million and $0.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The weighted average interest rate was 2.95% for the nine months ended September 30, 2014.
	In addition to other customary representations, warranties and covenants, the Company is required to meet a minimum trailing twelve month EBITDA to fixed charges ratio, as defined in the Loan Agreement, and a minimum quarterly tangible net worth level as defined in the Second Amendment. On September 30, 2014, we were in compliance with all financial covenants as detailed below:
	Quarterly Financial Covenants		Requirement	Actual
	EBITDA to fixed charges ratio		1.10 : 1.00	2.73 : 1.00

	Market Stock Units ("MSUs")
	The Company issued 51,292 MSUs to key employees with a vesting date of December 31, 2016. MSU's are exchangeable for the Company's common shares at the end of the vesting period. The number of shares of common stock that will be issued upon vesting, ranging from zero to 76,941, will be determined based upon the trailing thirty trading day average closing price of the Company's common stock on December 31, 2016.
	Restricted Stock Units ("RSUs")

	During the first nine months of 2014, the Company completed the sale of its Reno, Nevada, distribution center. As part of the review of the impact of a sale, the Company determined that the full carrying amount of the asset was not recoverable. Therefore, the Company recorded a $3.0 million non-cash impairment charge prior to the sale. The Company also entered into an agreement to leaseback approximately one half of the building for 10 years for a total of approximately $4.6 million of base rent plus operating expenses and real estate taxes to be paid over the term of the lease.

	Primarily due to the cumulative losses that the Company has incurred over the past three years, the Company determined that it was more likely than not that it will not be able to utilize its deferred tax assets to offset future taxable income. Therefore, substantially all deferred tax assets are subject to a tax valuation allowance until the Company can establish that the recoverability of its deferred tax assets is more likely than not to be realized. Although the Company is in a full tax valuation allowance position, a tax benefit of $0.3 million was recorded in continuing operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, primarily due to the allocation of tax expenses between continuing and discontinued operations.
	The Company and its subsidiaries are subject to U.S. Federal income tax, as well as income tax of multiple state and foreign jurisdictions. As of September 30, 2014, the Company is subject to U.S. Federal income tax examinations for the years 2011 through 2013 and income tax examinations from various other jurisdictions for the years 2006 through 2013. The Company is also currently under examination by the Canada Revenue Authority ("CRA") for the years 2006 through 2010. The CRA examination was completed during May 2013 and resulted in proposed adjustments to taxable income of approximately $3.4 million in Canadian dollars for the 2008 and 2009 tax years. The Company is not in agreement with these adjustments and filed a request with Competent Authority programs in both the U.S. and Canada in October, 2013. The Competent Authority program assists taxpayers with respect to matters covered in the mutual agreement procedure provisions of tax treaties. Management has not recorded a reserve and is confident that the Company will prevail in this matter. The Company is unable to establish an estimated time frame in which this issue will be resolved through Competent Authority.
	Earnings from the Company’s foreign subsidiaries are considered to be indefinitely reinvested. A distribution of these non-U.S. earnings in the form of dividends or otherwise would subject the Company to both U.S. Federal and state income taxes, as adjusted for foreign tax credits.

	Contingent Liabilities / Legal Settlement
	In 2012, the Company identified that a site it owns in Decatur, Alabama contains hazardous substances in the soil and groundwater as a result of historical operations prior to the Company's ownership. The Company has retained an environmental consulting firm to further investigate the contamination including the measurement and monitoring of the site. In August 2013, the site was enrolled in Alabama's voluntary cleanup program. At this time insufficient data regarding the situation has been collected to reasonably estimate the extent of the contamination or the cost, if any, of remedying this situation. Accordingly, the Company has not established a reserve for any remediation costs.
	During the three months ended September 30, 2014, the Company received proceeds of $0.7 million from a legal settlement of alleged breaches of the Company’s restrictive covenant agreements which has been reflected in general and administrative expenses in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income for the period then ended.
