Risks and Uncertainties [Abstract]
COVID-19 Risks and Uncertainties	COVID-19 Risks and Uncertainties Various events related to COVID-19 may continue to 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 branch locations, as well as disruptions to our supply chain and interactions with our suppliers and customers. The pandemic has had and may in the future 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 of $1.8 million is expected to be paid in the fourth quarter of 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. The Company will continue to closely monitor the operating environment and will take appropriate actions to protect the safety of its employees, customers and suppliers.
