Is There a Way to Lock the Gates at Night Through Sitelink?

We lock our gates at night for safety and security. We have been manually turning off the gate controllers every night. Apparently, this is hard on the system. Is there any way to turn off the gate access through sitelink?

The gates would still be active, they just won't let anyone assigned the time zone in (or out, potentially) outside of hours.
If your gate system has time zones, you would normally set the times in your gate controller software, and then in Sitelink, under Setup, Access Setup, Time Zones, you would create zones that match your gate controller. You would then have to ensure your tenants are assigned the right time zone.
If you really want to disable the gates and your software wont allow it, you can have electric timers or manual switches (many gate openers already have switches) installed in the gate openers themselves that will turn off the gates without turning off the controller. The drawback to this is that management wouldn't be able to open the gates until they are powered back on.1
