I've also used #4 Screws to fix #25 chain before, it works just fine when done right but can be a bit tricky considering the size of both the chain and the screws.

233, in 2011 at least, machines a part that appears to 'look' like a #25 chain link at either end and uses that to fix the chain to the stages. Here's a few pictures on their flickr.
