Risks and Uncertainties [Abstract]
COVID-19 Risks and Uncertainties	COVID-19 Risks and Uncertainties Various events related to COVID-19 may impact revenue, product sourcing, sales functions, and customers' ability to pay timely. The government of the State of Illinois defines Lawson Products as an essential business. A change in this status could result in the temporary closure of our business if the COVID-19 pandemic worsens, and government restrictions are reimposed to require business shutdowns. The COVID-19 pandemic could result in a temporary closure of any or all of our office space, distribution facilities, or Bolt branch locations, as well as disruptions to our supply chain and interactions with our suppliers and customers. The pandemic may have a material adverse impact on future financial results, liquidity, and overall performance of the Company. 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 elected to defer a total of $3.5 million of employer side social security payments in accordance with the CARES Act. The Company paid $1.7 million of accrued deferred payroll taxes in the fourth quarter of 2021, and the remaining balance is expected to be paid in 2022. The Company will continue to evaluate how the provisions of the CARES Act will impact its financial position, results of operations and cash flows. During 2020, the Company also utilized the Canadian Emergency Wage Subsidy ("CEWS") Act for both Lawson Canada and Bolt for assistance with hourly employee costs. The CEWS is a program that provides a subsidy of certain eligible wages commencing March 15, 2020 through December 31, 2020 subject to meeting certain criteria. During 2020 and 2021 the Company recorded $1.4 million and $0.2 million, respectively, in subsidies from the CEWS program which is recognized as a reduction to selling, general and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income. The Company will continue to closely monitor the operating environment and will take appropriate actions to protect the safety for its employees, customers and suppliers.
