Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies	Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Lawson Products, Inc. (the “Company”) have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information, the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not contain all disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles. Reference should be made to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 . In the opinion of the Company, all normal recurring adjustments have been made that are necessary to present fairly the results of operations for the interim periods. Operating results for the three month period ended March 31, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2020 . The Company has two operating segments. The first segment, the Lawson operating segment, distributes maintenance, repair and operations ("MRO") products to customers primarily through a network of sales representatives offering vendor managed inventory ("VMI") service to customers throughout the United States and Canada. The second segment, The Bolt Supply House Ltd. ("Bolt Supply") operating segment, distributes MRO products primarily through its branches located in Western Canada. Bolt Supply had 14 branches in operation at the end of the first quarter 2020.

Deferred Revenue Disclosure [Abstract]
Revenue Recognition	Revenue Recognition As part of the Company's revenue recognition analysis, it concluded that it has two separate performance obligations, and accordingly, two separate revenue streams: products and services. As a result, the Company reports two separate revenue streams and two separate costs of revenues. Under the definition of a contract as defined by ASC 606, the Company considers contracts to be created at the time an order to purchase product is agreed upon regardless of whether or not there is a written contract. Performance Obligations Lawson has two operating segments; the Lawson segment and the Bolt Supply segment. The Lawson segment has two distinct performance obligations offered to its customers: a product performance obligation and a service performance obligation. Although the Company has identified that it offers its customers both a product and a service obligation, the customer only receives one invoice per transaction with no price breakout between these obligations. The Company does not price its offerings based on any breakout between these obligations. Lawson generates revenue primarily from the sale of MRO products to its customers. Revenue related to product sales is recognized at the time that control of the product has been transferred to the customer; either at the time the product is shipped or the time the product has been received by the customer. The Company does not commit to long-term contracts to sell customers a certain minimum quantity of products. The Lawson segment offers a vendor managed inventory ("VMI") service proposition to its customers. A portion of these services, primarily related to stocking of product and maintenance of the MRO inventory, is provided a short period of time after control of the purchased product has been transferred to the customer. Since some components of VMI service have not been provided at the time the control of the product transfers to the customer, that portion of expected consideration is deferred until the time that those services have been provided. The Bolt Supply segment does not provide VMI services for its customers or provide services in addition to product sales to customers. Revenue is recognized at the time that control of the product has been transferred to the customer which is either upon delivery or shipment depending on the terms of the contract. Accounting Policy Elections The Company treats shipping and handling costs after the control of the product has been transferred to the customer as a fulfillment cost. Sales taxes that are imposed on our sales and collected from customers are excluded from revenues. The Company expenses sales commissions when incurred as the amortization period is one year or less. Certain Judgments The Company employs certain judgments to estimate the dollar amount of revenue, and related expenses, allocated to the sale of product and service. These judgments include, among others, the percentage of customers that take advantage of the VMI services offered, the amount of revenue to be allocated to the VMI service based on the value of the service to its customers, and the amount of time after control of the product passes to the customer that the VMI service obligation is completed. It is assumed that any customer who averages placing orders at a frequency of longer than 30 days does not take advantage of the available VMI services offered. The estimate of the cost of sales is based on the estimated time spent on such activities applied to the expenses directly related to sales representatives that provide VMI services to the customer. At March 31, 2020 , the Company had a deferred revenue liability of $0.7 million and a deferred expense of $0.3 million for related expenses associated with the deferred service performance obligations, respectively. The deferral of revenue and expenses does not affect the amount, timing and any uncertainty of cash flows generated from operations. Disaggregated revenue by geographic area follows: (Dollars in thousands) Three Months Ended March 31, 2020 2019 United States $ 73,584 $ 74,048 Canada 17,451 17,295 Consolidated total $ 91,035 $ 91,343 Disaggregated revenue by product type follows: Three Months Ended March 31, 2020 2019 Fastening Systems 22.8 % 23.5 % Fluid Power 14.2 % 15.2 % Cutting Tools and Abrasives 13.3 % 13.3 % Specialty Chemicals 11.2 % 11.3 % Electrical 10.8 % 11.5 % Aftermarket Automotive Supplies 8.2 % 8.4 % Safety 6.3 % 4.6 % Welding and Metal Repair 1.4 % 1.7 % Other 11.8 % 10.5 % Consolidated Total 100.0 % 100.0 %

The quantitative impairment test determined that the Bolt reporting unit's fair value exceeded its carrying value by less than 10% . As of March 31, 2020 goodwill allocated to the Bolt reporting unit was $12.4 million . Although the Company believes the projected future operating results and cash flows and related estimates regarding fair values were based on reasonable assumptions, it is reasonably possible that estimates made may be materially and adversely impacted in the near term as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, including impairment losses related to goodwill.

Leases

Leases [Abstract]
Leases	Leases The Company leases property used for distribution centers, office space, and Bolt branch locations throughout the US and Canada, along with various equipment located in distribution centers and corporate headquarters. The Company is also a lessor of its Decatur, Alabama property previously used in conjunction with a discontinued operation. Lawson Operating Leases Lawson MRO primarily has two types of leases: leases for real estate and leases for equipment. Operating real estate leases that have a material impact on the operations of the Company are related to the Company's distribution network and headquarters. The Company possesses several additional property leases that are month to month basis and are not material in nature. Lawson MRO does not possess any leases that have residual value guarantees. Several property leases include renewal clauses which vary in length and may not include specific rent renewal amounts. The Company will revise the value of the right of use assets and associated lease liabilities when the Company is reasonably certain it will renew a lease. The value of the Right Of Use ("ROU") assets and associated lease liabilities is calculated using the total cash payments over the course of the lease, discounted to the present value using the appropriate incremental borrowing rate. The right of use asset will be amortized over its useful life. The lease liability is reduced in conjunction with the lease payments made, with adjustments made to the lease liability in order to account for non-straight line cash payments through the life of the lease. Bolt primarily leases the real estate for its branch locations as well as its distribution center in Calgary, Alberta. Bolt possesses additional property leases that are month to month and not material in nature. Bolt property leases include renewal clauses which vary in length and may not include specific rent renewal amounts. The Company will revise the value of the right of use asset and associated lease liability when the Company is reasonably certain it will renew a lease. Significant Assumptions The Company is required to determine a discount rate for the present value of lease payments. If the rate is not included in the lease or cannot be readily determined, the Company must estimate the incremental borrowing rate to be used for the discount rate. The discount rate of Lawson MRO and Bolt will be reviewed on a periodic basis and updated as needed. The expenses and income generated by the leasing activity of Lawson as lessee for the three months ending March 31, 2020 and 2019 are as follows (Dollars in thousands): Three Months Ended March 31, Lease Type Classification 2020 2019 Consolidated Operating Lease Expense (1) Operating expenses $ 1,187 $ 1,195 Consolidated Financing Lease Amortization Operating expenses 52 48 Consolidated Financing Lease Interest Interest expense 7 6 Consolidated Financing Lease Expense 59 54 Sublease Income (2) Operating expenses — (80 ) Net Lease Cost $ 1,246 $ 1,169 (1) Includes short term lease expense, which is immaterial (2) Sublease income from sublease of a portion of the Company headquarters.

Debt Disclosure [Abstract]
Loan Agreement	In the fourth quarter of 2019, the Company entered into a five-year credit agreement led by J.P. Morgan Chase Bank N.A, as administrative agent, and including CIBC Bank USA and Bank of America, N.A. as other lenders. The credit agreement matures on October 11, 2024 and provides for $100.0 million of revolving commitments. The credit agreement allows borrowing capacity to increase to $150.0 million subject to meeting certain criteria and additional commitments from its lenders. The Credit Agreement consists of borrowings as alternate base rate loans, Canadian prime rate loans, Eurodollar loans, and Canadian dollar offered rate loans as the Company requests. The applicable interest rate spread is determined by the type of borrowing used and the Total Net Leverage Ratio as of the most recent fiscal quarter as defined in the Credit Agreement. At March 31, 2020 , the Company had $10.5 million of borrowings and had $87.5 million of credit availability remaining, net of outstanding letters of credit. The weighted average interest rate was 4.04% for the three months ended March 31, 2020 . The covenants associated with the Credit Agreement restrict the ability of the Company to, among other things: incur additional indebtedness and liens, make certain investments, merge or consolidate, engage in certain transactions such as the disposition of assets and sales-leaseback transactions, and make certain restricted cash payments such as dividends in excess of defined amounts contained within the Credit Agreement. In addition to these items and other customary terms and conditions, the Credit Agreement requires the Company to comply with certain financial covenants as follows: a) The Company is required to maintain an EBITDA to Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio of at least 1.15 to 1.00 for any period of four consecutive fiscal quarters ending on the last day of any fiscal quarter; and b) The Company is required to maintain a Total Net Leverage Ratio of no more than 3.25 to 1.00 on the last day of any fiscal quarter. The maximum Total Net Leverage Ratio will be allowed to increase to 3.75 to 1.00 after certain permitted acquisitions. The Credit Agreement also includes events of default for, among others, non-payment of obligations under the Credit Agreement, change of control, cross default to other indebtedness in an aggregate amount in excess of $5.0 million , failure to comply with covenants, and insolvency. In addition to other customary representations, warranties and covenants, the results of the financial covenants are provided below: Quarterly Financial Covenants Requirement Actual EBITDA to fixed charges ratio 1.15 : 1.00 7.13 : 1.00 Total net leverage ratio 3.25 : 1.00 0.19 : 1.00 As of March 31, 2020 , the Company was in compliance with its required debt covenants.

The majority of the stock-based compensation benefit is related to the change in the market value of the Company's common stock. The accrued liability for previously issued Stock Performance Rights ("SPRs") decreased from $14.9 million on December 31, 2019 to $3.7 million on March 31, 2020 primarily due to the change in the market value of the Company's common stock. A summary of stock-based awards issued during the three months ended March 31, 2020 follows: Restricted Stock Units ("RSUs") The Company issued 6,847 RSUs to key employees that cliff vest on December 31, 2022. The Company issued 2,500 RSUs to an executive that cliff vest on March 2, 2023 and 3,000 RSUs that cliff vest of March 9, 2023. Each RSU is exchangeable for one share of the Company's common stock at the end of the vesting period. Market Stock Units ("MSUs") The Company issued 22,284 MSUs to key employees that cliff vest on December 31, 2022. MSUs are exchangeable for the Company's common stock at the end of the vesting period. The number of shares of common stock that will be issued upon vesting, ranging from zero to 33,426 shares, will be determined based upon the trailing sixty-day average closing price of the Company's common stock on December 31, 2022. Performance Awards ("PAs") The Company issued 10,852 PAs to key employees that cliff vest on December 31, 2022. PAs are exchangeable for the Company's common stock ranging from zero to 16,278 shares, or the equivalent amount in cash, based upon the achievement of certain financial performance metrics.

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
Income Taxes	Income Taxes The Company recorded income tax expense of $4.9 million , a 28.0% effective tax rate, for the three months ended March 31, 2020 . The effective tax rate is higher than the U.S. statutory rate due primarily to state taxes and the recording of reserves for uncertain tax positions. Income tax expense of $1.7 million , a 28.8% effective tax rate, was recorded for the three months ended March 31, 2019 , which also was higher than the U.S. Statutory rate due primarily to state taxes, income in higher tax jurisdictions and an inclusion for global intangible low taxed income. Cash paid for income taxes was $0.2 million and $0.1 million in the first three months of 2020 and 2019, respectively. The Company and its subsidiaries are subject to U.S. Federal income tax, as well as income tax of multiple state and foreign jurisdictions. As of March 31, 2020 , the Company is subject to U.S. Federal income tax examinations for the years 2016 through 2018 and income tax examinations from various other jurisdictions for the years 2012 through 2018. 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 may subject the Company to foreign withholding taxes and U.S. federal and state taxes.

Contingent Liability [Abstract]
Environmental Contingency	Contingent Liabilities In 2012, the Company identified that a site it owns in Decatur, Alabama, contains hazardous substances in the soil and groundwater as a result of historical operations prior to the Company's ownership. The Company retained an environmental consulting firm to further investigate the contamination including the measurement and monitoring of the site and the site was enrolled in the Alabama Department of Environmental Management (“ADEM") voluntary cleanup program. The remediation plan was approved by ADEM in 2018. The plan consists of chemical injections throughout the affected area, as well as subsequent monitoring of the area for three consecutive periods. The injection process was completed in the first quarter of 2019 and the environmental consulting firm is monitoring the affected area. The Company believes the minimal remaining environmental remediation liability, classified within Accrued expenses and other liabilities on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheet, will be sufficient to cover the remaining cost of the plan.

Segment Reporting [Abstract]
Segment Reporting Disclosure [Text Block]	Segment Information The Company operates in two reportable segments. The businesses have been determined to be separate reportable segments because of differences in their financial characteristics and the methods they employ to deliver product to customers. The operating segments are reviewed by the Company’s chief operating decision maker responsible for reviewing operating performance and allocating resources. The Lawson segment primarily relies on its large network of sales representatives to visit the customer at the customers' work location and provide VMI service and produce sales orders for product that is then shipped to the customer. The Bolt Supply segment primarily sells product to customers through its branch locations. Bolt Supply had 14 branches in operation at the end of the first quarter of 2020. Financial information for the Company's reportable segments follows: (Dollars in thousands) Three Months Ended March 31, 2020 2019 Revenue Lawson product revenue $ 71,791 $ 73,039 Lawson service revenue 9,700 9,428 Total Lawson revenue 81,491 82,467 Bolt Supply 9,544 8,876 Consolidated total $ 91,035 $ 91,343 Gross profit Lawson product gross profit $ 39,729 $ 40,604 Lawson service gross profit 5,391 5,015 Total Lawson gross profit 45,120 45,619 Bolt Supply 3,801 3,304 Consolidated total $ 48,921 $ 48,923 Operating income Lawson $ 18,094 $ 5,458 Bolt Supply 544 86 Consolidated total 18,638 5,544 Interest expense (115 ) (197 ) Other income (expense), net (1,111 ) 472 Income before income taxes $ 17,412 $ 5,819

Subsequent Event [Line Items]
Subsequent Events [Text Block]	In March 2020, the World Health Organization classified the COVID-19 outbreak as a pandemic, based on the rapid increase in exposure globally. The full impact of the COVID-19 pandemic has yet to be realized as of the date of this report. There is substantial uncertainty as to the overall effect the pandemic will have on the results of the Company for the rest of 2020 and beyond. Various events related to COVID-19 have resulted in lost revenue to our Company, limitations on our ability to source high demand products, limitations on our sales force to perform certain functions due to state or federal stay-at-home orders, slow-down of customer demand for our products and limitations of some customers to pay us on a timely basis. On March 27, 2020, Congress enacted the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act to provide certain relief as a result of the COVID-19 outbreak. The Company has elected to defer the employer side social security payments in accordance with the CARES Act. The Company is currently evaluating how these provisions in the CARES Act will impact its financial position, results of operations and cash flows. In the first quarter of 2020, the government of the state of Illinois defined essential businesses, allowing Lawson to operate during the pandemic. A change in this status could result in the temporary closure of our business. Additionally the COVID-19 pandemic could result in a temporary closure of any or all of our distribution facilities or the Bolt branch locations, which would negatively impact our operations. Other disruptions to our supply chain such as reduced capacity or temporary shutdowns of freight carriers could also negatively impact Company performance. The pandemic is negatively impacting sales and operations currently and may negatively impact future financial results, liquidity and overall performance of the Company. Additionally, it is reasonably possible that estimates made in the financial statements may be materially and adversely impacted in the near term as a result of these conditions, including delay in payment of receivables, impairment losses related to goodwill and other long-lived assets, and inability to utilize deferred tax assets. The Lawson MRO business model relies upon customer interaction as well as a consistent schedule of onsite visits by our sales reps to customer locations. The Bolt business model relies on foot traffic in its branch locations. The onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as social distancing guidelines and government mandated shelter in place orders, have negatively impacted our business. The Company has taken several steps to mitigate the potential negative impacts of COVID-19. Lawson sales representatives continue to reach out to all customers with a portion via phone, fax and internet-based communications. Bolt branches remain open and are offering curbside pickup for customer orders to maintain social distancing. Our sales team and finance team continue to monitor our customers' liquidity and receivables balances, as well as monitor customers who have reduced hours of operation or have shut down temporarily. Management continues to be in contact with current suppliers and is reaching out to additional suppliers to ensure that orders for inventory are fulfilled in a timely manner. The Company continues to monitor its balance sheet and liquidity position and is taking actions to protect cash flows from operations. At March 31, 2020, the Company had $4.1 million of cash and cash equivalents and an additional $87.5 million of borrowing capacity under its committed credit facility and a similar amount available as of the date of this report. During April 2020, the Company has taken numerous actions, including, but not limited to furloughing approximately 100 employees, reducing salaries, canceling travel and award trips, consolidating its Suwanee distribution center operations into the McCook facility, and eliminating non-critical capital expenditures. The Company is closely monitoring the operating environment and will take all necessary actions to ensure safety for our employees, customers and suppliers while continuing to meet its working capital needs and remain in compliance with its debt covenants.

Quarterly Financial Covenants [Table Text Block]	In the fourth quarter of 2019, the Company entered into a five-year credit agreement led by J.P. Morgan Chase Bank N.A, as administrative agent, and including CIBC Bank USA and Bank of America, N.A. as other lenders. The credit agreement matures on October 11, 2024 and provides for $100.0 million of revolving commitments. The credit agreement allows borrowing capacity to increase to $150.0 million subject to meeting certain criteria and additional commitments from its lenders. The Credit Agreement consists of borrowings as alternate base rate loans, Canadian prime rate loans, Eurodollar loans, and Canadian dollar offered rate loans as the Company requests. The applicable interest rate spread is determined by the type of borrowing used and the Total Net Leverage Ratio as of the most recent fiscal quarter as defined in the Credit Agreement. At March 31, 2020 , the Company had $10.5 million of borrowings and had $87.5 million of credit availability remaining, net of outstanding letters of credit. The weighted average interest rate was 4.04% for the three months ended March 31, 2020 . The covenants associated with the Credit Agreement restrict the ability of the Company to, among other things: incur additional indebtedness and liens, make certain investments, merge or consolidate, engage in certain transactions such as the disposition of assets and sales-leaseback transactions, and make certain restricted cash payments such as dividends in excess of defined amounts contained within the Credit Agreement. In addition to these items and other customary terms and conditions, the Credit Agreement requires the Company to comply with certain financial covenants as follows: a) The Company is required to maintain an EBITDA to Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio of at least 1.15 to 1.00 for any period of four consecutive fiscal quarters ending on the last day of any fiscal quarter; and b) The Company is required to maintain a Total Net Leverage Ratio of no more than 3.25 to 1.00 on the last day of any fiscal quarter.

The Credit Agreement also includes events of default for, among others, non-payment of obligations under the Credit Agreement, change of control, cross default to other indebtedness in an aggregate amount in excess of $5.0 million , failure to comply with covenants, and insolvency. In addition to other customary representations, warranties and covenants, the results of the financial covenants are provided below: Quarterly Financial Covenants Requirement Actual EBITDA to fixed charges ratio 1.15 : 1.00 7.13 : 1.00 Total net leverage ratio 3.25 : 1.00 0.19 : 1.00 As of March 31, 2020 , the Company was in compliance with its required debt covenants.
