Default sliding door advise

My shop is divided into two rooms connected by a 4'x7' doorway. I would
like to hang a sliding door so I dont have to heat both sides. I plan to
use 1/2" thick plywood for the door. Can anyone tell me where I can find
the right hardware for this job? It doesnt have to be pretty, just
functional. Thanks.

Any farm supply place would have track and trolleys for such a set up.
Much cheaper would be to get a set of closet bypass doors. It will come
with all the hardware you need

Any good hardware store should have barn door track and the associated
hardware.

How about just using regular closet door track and rollers. Cheap and should
do the job..
